I really like this comment. Thanks a lot for taking the time to going through the code and figure all that out. The way I learn things is by doing. Since I started college, the only way I can understand a mathematical equation is by turning it into code. The machine learning class I took was a basic one. We learned about knn, kmeans, adaline, perception, linear regression... the semester ended with a multilayer perceptron with only one hidden layer. This Dejavu NN you see in my code is like the fourth iteration of me trying to really understand NNs. Some of the things you said I already knew but didn't took the time to apply: like cross validation. Tht shuffle algorithm I didn't knew, thanks for that. Anyways, if all the criticism I got from my projects were like yours i'd be such much better now.

When I learned about KNN, I made this project:
https://github.com/victorqribeiro/budget

When I learned about Kmeans, I made this one:
https://github.com/victorqribeiro/groupImg

When I learned about Perceptrons:
https://github.com/victorqribeiro/carGamePerceptron (the training is done when you run the project)

When I learned about MLP:
https://github.com/victorqribeiro/jokenpo

When I learned about Neural Evolution:

None of these projects are perfect, but helped me to better understand things. I did implemented a professional solution for a company using machine learning, but I used scikit-learn (back then). I have some experience with tensorflow also, but implementing things makes me fell like in control. But I know whena a solution is good enough for production and when it's not. I made clear on the README of this project that this is not at all good for production. I took the time to show every single step of the process and tell it how it is. I had limited time and limited resources, and with the little I had I made a "fun" experiment. I enjoy doing this kind of thing. I have to squish this kind of projects in my free time, cause I have a full time job and I'm finishing my final thesis (I'll defend it two week from now).

Sorry if I turn this into a journal entry, but I kind got hurt yesterday when the other guy shted all over my project That's not at all what you did and I appreciate that. Thanks again.
I must say that Motorola really has some great products to offer. I was recently looking for a cheap replacement for my old Android phone and found the Moto G7 Power, which is awesome in my eyes. No bullshit stock android, a nice large screen and it runs on a single charge more than 6 days in my case [1]. It's crazy.

The camera is bad though, but that's one of the reasons why smart phones get more expensive each year. I won't buy into this ultra-resolution, low-light, AI photo craze.

IMO they should focus on that low-price segment and they will own the market. I don't see any value in foldable screen gimmicks.

There's also a middle-ground that would have made people happier across the spectrum. Standard power cable, for phone, laptop, etc. Standard data cable, for your ereader, camera. Standard video-audio cable.

I think it's a good principle to have that if the engineers suffer, that will run downhill on consumers too. I think every engineer can find examples of that.

Medieval peasants (and serfs) had a lot of freedom with how to spend their day to day. They had chores, and several weeks a year of grueling sun up to sun down labor. But it's not usually harvest season or planting season, and they had nearly half the year off. Working hours increased dramatically during the industrial revolution.

Yeah, no, you can't physically prevent that, not without a perfect panopticon police state.

If you allow intolerance to spread, it WILL, without fail, hurt people. Sometime, immense number of people. This is not theoretical. It happens, again and again, and the only way to prevent it is to oppose intolerance at every stage.

Your abstract ideology of absolutely free speech is not in any way worth the immense pain and suffering that will, inevitably, follow.

Modern big-budget games incresingly don't use behavior trees and state machines for their AI anymore. This approach has been superseded by technologies like GOAP [1] or HTN [2]. These are computationally very expensive, especially in the constrained computation budget of a real-time game.

While it's true that game AI is often held back by game design decisions, it's not true that technology isn't holding us back in this area as well.

I'd totally buy a Razr if it had good camera and battery. Which unfortunately it doesn't. Yes it's more than any base iPhone but it's also a lot cooler phone design, and runs Android too.
I think speculative execution is in principle incompatible with untrusted code execution. Even if CPU makers will place memory protection in front of speculative execution, and not behind as it is now, any untrusted code/bytecode can still pwn the process running it, and there is no way to work that around as such.

That's completely false. Nokia was by for the largest cell phone brand in the US in the early 2000s.
They're crowd-sourcing valuable information services from third parties to become a market data provider.

What could go wrong for information providers where Amazon controls their market and infrastructure? They become commoditized "data providers". They are coerced into profit sharing with Amazon. They are eventually replaced by Amazon-provided data.

I won't buy from this market because I see where this is heading. I use the same reason that I apply for not buying many other services and products from Amazon. It offers no additional value other than minor convenience to a customer at a much greater cost to the economy and providers.

Buying local isn't just for produce.
Remember the price tag of the iPhone X? It also was the first OLED, the first "full-screen" iPhone, clearly targeted at "early-adoptors" and came with a steep price tag.

I think we need to wait for the Razr v3 (pun intended), which might be more suitable for the masses.
Not sure how to protect your blockchain idea?
In Norway, the government protects heritage building's facade but allows for the internals to be rebuilt to modern standards.

Sometimes this makes sense as the old buildings were extraordinarily energy inefficient and preservation rules make it near impossible to insulate using modern materials.
Some buildings are uninhabitable or cannot meet modern standards for environmental control yet are protected from demolition for historic reasons.

Unfortunately, the loop holes are exploited to the maximum, making a mockery of culture heritage preservation intentions. The government is responsible for many of the re-development decisions, causing the arbitrariness of architectural styles in some parts of the cities.

We've seen several buildings, in choice locations, be destroyed by "accidental" fires because of cultural heritage preservation rules.

Contrary to dramatic original headline, her quotes are less about Apple Card or Goldman, more a topical hook for “debate over the role of algorithms in consumer finance” and her platform on “issues tied to access to credit for consumers.“

“We’re all beginning to understand better that algorithms are only as good as the data that gets packed into them,” Warren said. “And if a lot of discriminatory data gets packed in, in other words, if that’s how the world works, and the algorithm is doing nothing but sucking out information about how the world works, then the discrimination is perpetuated.”

It’s the company’s responsibility to come forward with the information about how that algorithm was designed and the exact impact of it, she said. “And if they can’t do it, then they need to pull it down.”

Interesting to think about a possible Warren administration Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Ref of the original paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.00892. The biggest issue for me is they don't have proper upper/lower indices. A lower index is a leg pointing down, while an upper index is a leg pointing up. \delta should be \delta_i^j. The upper/lower I like to think of as extra type information. You can pair covectors and vectors. The other issue is with the dot product of course, I would write a_i b^i.
Our brain is whatever evolution found that worked, and of course it's a bunch of chemistry. The "why" of why our brain works can easily be "it approximates these statistical algorithms well enough."

> Due to trend of thin devices we need smaller ports and fewer of them.

People keep repeating this lie for some weird reason. Similar to the "3.5 had to go because phones are too thin for it" lie. Why? Why do you keep lying? What possible incentive do all these people have? Is it self-deception? "Oh yeah I'm totally fine with losing X, Y and Z because I get thinness and weight reduction in exchange!" You get neither.

iPhone 5 124x59x7.6 mm, 112 g

iPhone 11 150x75x8.3 mm, 194 g

Now yes, its true, the iPhone 5 was part of a group of lightweight and thin phones that are now extinct, because clearly things are getting smaller, thinner and more lightweight to boot.

For notebooks the same observations can be made. The 2008 MBA is only about 100 g heavier than the current model, the thinnest part is the same(!) and thickest part about 4 mm thicker (1.9 vs 1.5 cm). A slight but minuscule improvement. You could have a 1.3 kg notebook at the end of the 90s, btw.

It looks like this is targeted at ML/AI but I have a tangentially related question: does anyone know of open source or other publicly available lists of US businesses? Just business name and address?

I’m building out an app and we receive documents from all kinds of vendors from all over the country. The app is for our business to manage our client data. I was hoping to find a list of business I could throw in the db rather then piecemeal add the addresses in one by one as the documents come in.

I looked at some of the data service providers (infoUsa I think was one and d&b being another), but one dataset for just business names and addresses they were asking $50,000 for. I think my use-case is unique in that these companies typically sell this data as sales lead data which it definitely is not in my case (we don’t even sell b2b).

Anyone know of anything like this? I suppose I could just scrape phone books but I think if I can’t find the data we will just resort to one by one entry.

I think older AI work like POMDPs and statistical work like causal inference are more on line with what's needed to produce true AGI than the current breakthroughs in neural nets are. And I'd certainly prefer our chances to survive the results if AGI is reached through statistical rigor.

Though we know for a fact that it is possible to find intelligence by randomly throwing things at the wall until something works. It's not like evolution uses a principled statistical process.

Flip phones were an important design constraint when phones featured physical hardware buttons. It was easier to flip open a phone to unlock it then press the weird key combos that some phones used.

With touch screens this is no longer a problem, and the design constraint for a flip phone is less relevant. If anything it now increases the time to unlock a phone if you have to flip it open first then authenticate with thumbprint or face scanner.

i think the idea is to make the os extend across screens much as you do on a desktop 2 screen setup not have individual screens. you could do it by making the 2 screens have no bezel on the side they meet and then making a clever hinge that brings those screens within 1mm of touching when unfolded
I'm talking about the basic principles of advertising. A simple sign in the street is advertising, as is a static graphic on a niche hobby website advertising products from a company people within that community respect. There's nothing wrong with letting people know your products exist. The problem is always in the execution.

> They distort the product market as they favour those players with the highest marketing budget, rather than with the best product.

I don't see any alternative to letting people make claims and making laws to stop them blatantly lying. What is the "best" product in any category? How does the best product surface in front of me without advertising in any context?

> Clickbait and fake-news are a direct result of advertising

Advertising is a part of it, sure, but it's not the whole picture.

> They are an attempt at manipulation. People have to constantly expend the energy to counteract that manipulation

100% agree, which is why I promote adblockers. But I don't think this is a problem with the principle of advertising, it's an execution problem. Like many others mention if a website had a small sidebar with static graphic ads that weren't invasive I wouldn't block them as they wouldn't be requiring me to expend energy to counteract them and I would still think it would be ethical to block them if someone wished to. It's never unethical to choose what code runs on my machine after being sent to me, if you don't want me to have free content then don't send me content for free.

I think we're mostly on the same page, I just don't have a problem with ads at the bottom end of the manipulation and annoyance scale.
Another thing is the intersection of the building and the pavement. All over London, this part of the building that pedestrians actually notice the most as they go past is botched and hammered-in. Turns many a mediocre building into a very poor one.

A child picks up an apple but doesn't know what an apple "is". It doesn't even have the vocabulary to describe it.

As adults we know what an apple is because we understand it as a concept, the ideal "apple", and can manipulate the concept into areas way outside the original concept (say, the phrase "apple of my eye").
> But then this is all subjective, so I guess you can't please everyone.

Of course. To elaborate a bit on my thoughts: many cities have a distinct historical style reflecting the unique development of the city. If we replace every building that's unfit for purpose with an completely new building (i think) we will converge to an indifferent mess, where every city starts to look the same. The globalisation of architectural style, if you will. Preserving the facade means allowing some part of the history to continue and preserve a bit of the character of the neighbourhood. It's all generalised, of course. It doesn't always make sense, it doesn't always look good and it doesn't always preserve something in a meaningful sense. But there are quite a few examples here that I think are nicely done. Some executions are done in a styl where you don't even realise that only the facade is old and everything else got replaced!

> I don't think they do, it's disjointed and jarring.
This might be one of the things where we just disagree. I often really enjoy the contrast when of old vs new. There are some interesting buildings that playfully combine old structures with new. Not in the article though. But this contrast is not well received by everyone, here's an example that I think does this very well, but others hate it: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/dbxnyj/new_library_...
