First Keras version was released the 27 March 2015.

First TensorFlow version was released the 9 November 2015.

Both had to follow the evolution of DL, but Keras was developer-friendly from the beginning.

On that migraine medication... all insurance companies limit the amount I can receive each month the a number much fewer than the migraines I get.

These migraine meds expect that you take it on the onset of the headache, often before you know it's even a migraine otherwise they don't work. So you are left with this decision, do I possibly suffer for the rest of the day or use up my stock for something that may not need it.
Funny, I'm sure a lot of people think the opposite, and that only proves your point more.
Oxide Computer Company Launch
The Android ecosystem got popular primarily for two reasons: the massive marketing effort by google and the plentiful dirt-cheap labor market in the kind of development paradigm Android is (awful, bloated Java where desperate $5/hr devs are plentiful).
Demanding a stable Array.sort is surprising. I find it questionable, as it implies a performance trade-off. Why not add a new stableSort function?

Trying to retroactively fixing bugs in code that did not follow the standard is not a good idea IMHO.
Every Bay Area company I’ve worked for(except 1) does not have QA. It’s expected by the time the dev merges it it’s been appropriately tested and can go straight to prod, so no need to wait. Fewer, smaller releases is generally better when something does go wrong as well, it’s more obvious which change is the problem.

The one that did have qa, the devs were incredibly lazy about testing, relying entirely on someone else to make sure it worked. I’d say the overall product was better with qa but the point at which a developer called it done was way worse.
Obviously chairs don't exist. Scientists have discovered a thing called "wood," which is the true name of many of the things that members of the public call "chairs." Whenever I see someone sitting on what they think is a "chair," I tell them to stand up because it's not coherent to expect every piece of wood to be comfortable to sit on.
It's inverted, I put the db on the app server so it talks HTTP natively; but the app server is also non-blocking async. concurrent so it's not only a toy.

I call it Joint Parallel, because that's the best term to describe that many cores can co-operate on the same memory at the "same time".
Not necessarily.

I think it's PG who mentioned it in some other essays, but "non-profit" and "company" can be seen as different ways to make things happen, a different models of getting society's help with bringing your visions into the real world. Non-profits tend to depend on other people's generosity; for-profits have to earn their money directly. Both have to care about money to some extent, as money is the lifeblood of all large-scale endeavors in this world.

All of that is orthogonal to doing something worthwhile. There's plenty of non-profits that exist primarily to make money for the founders. Conversely, there's e.g. Elon Musk and SpaceX, which is a successful for-profit with an explicit, unchanging, non-monetary terminal goal: making humanity multiplanetary, by bringing down the costs of space so that it's economical to venture there and colonize Mars (you can argue whether that's worthwhile, but I think it's well proven that Musk/SpaceX are honestly pursuing space, not money).
Is anyone surprised? Systemd has been steadily increasing its surface area over the years.
I did a Ctrl+f "goodhart", too. Glad to see that there is growing awareness of this principle... I think it underlies a lot of basic problems with society/tech/government in general. There is a related real-life parable I like about the ww2 plane designer who put more armor where returning bombers _weren't_ shot up, but I forget his name.

Yes I have used HDLs. You are working on a creating a hardware configuration. But you are not writing a netlist. That is like saying when you are writing a software program that you are "working on the machine code". The only difference between a HDL and "software" languages is a different set of restrictions. Every software language/framework or whatever also has unique restrictions. The restrictions HDLs have are not in any significant way tangibly different then those that exist in the software land.

You have software languages as well where "every line of code runs concurrently". Any dataflow framework for instance. That's not even to name functional languages where evaluation of statements can be done completely in parallel based on data dependencies.

Software is a lot more then the old c style run a program line by line until it hits the end of main().
I haven’t been lucky enough to encounter them but there are entire bays in Hawaii where only whale sharks will regularly go. Tiger and bull sharks will stay well away most of the time because of the dolphins and dolphins love people.

I like to think that they think we’re all just loveable fools à la Douglas Adams.
No, it's just the way it seems to me.
I've got one kid in college, the other is finishing high school. Here's what I'm telling them, although not in these words: If you get something of real lasting value out of your education, then you're the one who is hacking the system.

Figuring out the tricks to pass tests is not hacking, it's going with the flow. Or at best, it's hacking in the "script kiddie" fashion.
Science has been sticking to that view since around Newton. But it's actually beginning to slowly change now, as time-independent physics might be a reason why our theories work very well in specific areas, but tend to break down in a more holistic approach.

See the work of physicist Lee Smolin in Time Reborn (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Reborn-Crisis-Physics-Universe...) on why time and information might be the most fundamental concepts.

This does not mean though that we experience time in the same way - far from it. Just that passage of time is fundamental to information processing.
6 digits are far, far too extreme from a usability perspective. We have IBANs as world wide unique account identifiers. They are very unwieldy with up to 34 digits, depending on country. And only 2 of them are checksum digits. Most mistakes are one or two wromg digits or missing/extra digits and that can be caught with 2 properly designed checksum digits.
Its quite interesting how different software companies treat their releases. At my job we have major releases twice a year, and patches a couple of times between those.
What matters is not whether one starts a company, but why. A company is a way to get money and manpower to help one realize their goals. The important question is, what are their goals? Making money? Or building a product? Unfortunately, most companies are about the former (despite what their marketing copy says).
Essentially, you're saying plausible deniability? "I'm the CEO of 100s to 1000s of employees. I can't possibly know the complete details of what all of them are working on"? If you're a CEO like Steve Jobs or the Zuck, then I would never ever ever buy that argument.
Maybe, but what's the plan to do that?
As I explained, he said it was none of this.
> People are afraid to wear jeans at work because it might look "unprofessional" or like they're not working as hard as people who wear 'business' attire.

Is this the case in tech jobs?

In ~15 years of working in tech companies I don’t think I’ve ever not worn jeans; I reserve not wearing jeans largely for weddings and funerals.
I can imagine it’s pretty much the same reason people tend to hate Greenpeace, which is sad.
There are other RSS readers but RSS as a stand-alone thing that people use (where “people” was always somewhat of a niche) has largely withered in the face of social media. Much as the tech crowd likes to complain about Reader’s Denise, it was at least in part a response to RSS’s decline not the cause.

I also recently took about 10 months off of work, specifically to focus on learning. It was incredible, and I don’t regret it financially. I would often get up at 6 in the morning or even earlier (which I never do) just from excitement about what I was going to learn about and accomplish in the day. Spending my time focused Only on what I was most interested in was incredibly rewarding. It’s going to be awhile before I am able to do it again financially. It is a life-impacting hit to the bank account, especially factoring opportunity costs, but I agree with the OP that it feels well worth it as an investment in myself. Can’t wait til I get the chance again.
To see this in action, watch the movie "Click".
I only skimmed it, but it doesn't seem that they looked directly at whether the sharks actually fear Orcas per se. It is already known that white sharks flee whenever one of their own is killed by anything, which they can smell from some distance away. They remember to avoid that area for some time afterwards.

"Great White Sharks are terrified of Orcas" suggests a higher level of intelligence than "Great White Sharks evolved to fear anything that can kill a Great White Shark".

It seems that the study is less concerned with that mechanism and more with the fact that this kind of displacement leads to White Sharks occupying sub-optimal hunting grounds while Orcas get to go wherever they want.
This is a similar view to the emerging theory of Bayesian Brain, which views the brain as a system that tries to minimise the prediction error (which might be the same thing as "free-energy" in some related publications) by comparing expectations with actual information coming from the senses.

https://towardsdatascience.com/the-bayesian-brain-hypothesis...

So far it seems that it explains quite a lot of data, and many mind illnesses (e.g. many diseases can be thought as the brain under-correcting or over-correcting for the prediction error).

By under-correcting, the brain is not learning enough on its mistakes, which may lead to delusions of superiority (e.g. being stuck in usual habits, or inability to change one's world-view based on new information). On the other hand, when over-correcting, the world may seem unpredictable, frightening - leading to self-doubt, anxiety and negative thoughts.

Being wrong around 15% of the time might actually be the optimal rate for learning... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/failing-study-suc...
I've found about how to hack the tests quite early on. I've had straight A's until I no longer cared about the grades. I've also realized that entering and pursuing a career at a tech corporations is a game as well.

What has been driving me to startups is the fact that creating a profitable business has no place for hacks.

Fundraising is a game that could be easily hacked though. I thought it was only possible to hack the fundraising game for a couple of rounds but Adam Neumann et al. changed my mind that hacks could carry a business even to post-IPO.
They've been slacking in development, both software and hardware. Look at the MacBook keyboard problem, or all of the security exploits like pressing Enter numerously to escalate to root privileges.

You don't get these kinds of problems when you aren't trying to mass produce cyclical consumption.
Starts with two months, usually, and on average goes for over a year. As the startup grows there are always new challenges that pop up.

Actually I barely travel even though most my clients are in the Bay Area and I’m on the east coast. Everything is done remotely with email, slack, and zoom. I go there once a quarter but even that is just for some face-to-face time and not out of necessity.

I disagree with this advice.

If I was on the fence about hiring someone because I wasn't sure they would do the job and they offered to drop the price it would make me think that person is also not confident that they could do the job.

As a hiring manager, there is more on the line than the employee's salary. Making a bad hire can hurt morale, reduce productivity, and hurt the hiring manager's reputation. Having that extra money in your budget won't outweigh the potential damage that could be done.

During a job search you need to make those risks seem as small as possible.
This is an interesting idea. If I want to personalize the urn to my company's uuid, would it be, urn:uuid:mycoid? can it be shorthanded to urn:mycoid?
The problem is most regular people think "Chernobyl" or "Fukushima" when they hear "nuclear power". It's hard to create an environment that fosters and finances innovation in this field when the political support needed may be career suicide for whoever offers it.

Unless the purpose is to just steer Alphabet into a new direction. But yeah I had not thought of that to be honest.
Apples and oranges I think. Take video signal reproduction as an example. You can have the same signal routed to different display devices, and they image produced will look better/worse than the original. Compare it on a 1980s 3 lens RGB projection screen compared to a CRT compared to a modern OLED screen. Compare Google Cardboard VR headsets with a cheap plastic lens compared to the higher quality headsets.

Even if chronic inflammation was caused by self-stimulation, that still makes it a biological problem. Maybe you meant it wasn't an inherent, biological part of aging? If that's what you meant, then I still don't agree.

IMHO, the biggest contributor to chronic inflammation is the Standard American Diet (lots of grains and refined foods) combined with a lack of exercise. These things have a greater, compounding effect with age. You can't exactly tell an 80 year old woman to start running or lift weights on a daily basis.

So you're giving G credit for recognizing the world progressing before the rest of the world realizes? Or that the users just adapted to the loss of the product? Just trying to compare G killing software to Apple killing hardware. The transition away from SCSI and ADB to things like USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt, USB-A to USB-C, etc riles the masses during the transition, but ultimately it is the better decision.
Aren't seals mammals? And in captivity, killer whales have a killed a few humans, dunno the total count. So I guess they just don't find humans that appetizing in the wild, or just haven't had the chance to try them out. I'm not sure how common it's for humans to swim in the same waters as killer whales. And isn't it quite rare for sharks to attack humans too?
Found 51 CVEs relating to systemd since 2012 in a naive search[0]. All software of systemd's complexity has bugs, but a CVE every ~2 months over 7 years isn't hugely encouraging. Never mind the ever increasing surface area as systemd seems to take on ever increasing amounts responsibility in an average Linux system. I'm absolutely biased and have been unconvinced from day 1, but I've not seen much to dull my scepticism either.

Semantic consistency is at least an order of magnitude harder, in my experience.
"A"s are for cowards.
The title is a bit hyperbolic, but the discussion on the page is a good one. The threat is more academic than having practical exploits in the wild.

That said, there have been a lot of “academic” exploits turned into full exploits in the recent years.
I hear this a lot, but everything can be handled with a single tool: Webpack. Even a TS project can compile with Webpack and all of its assets, minification and compression needs can be handled in the same file. While you’re at it you can set up a development server with source mapping. Just take an afternoon to learn Webpack and be done with complaining about setup overhead. I set up a multi-stage build for TS Project References but that’s only necessary if you want to share code between the front and back ends. Aside from that you should only need a single build step.
It depends on the client. With a government client, expenses for lodging and meals are usually capped to the GSA scale. It depends on the contract though.

I am not quite convinced by the arguments with which the attack is downplayed here. I think this explanation is biased too much towards attackimg short lived HTTP connections. Not all TCP connections are short lived. It might also be possible to spoof DNS replies with some guessing (if the VPN endpoint is associated with a known public provider, the DNS server is likely known as well).
"It is absolutely beyond the pale for the healthcare access of someone and their family to be linked to their employment. It perverts the freedom of movement between jobs that people have a fundamental right to."

It's not really linked to employment. Employers pay for it, yes, but anyone can go on the open market and get their own insurance. I'm a consultant and have been paying for my own insurance for me and my family for a decade.

In addition to this, there's something called cobra, that allows you to pay for health insurance for awhile after you leave an employer. Unless the person in this article went over a year between jobs and never even tried to buy his own insurance, his lack of coverage is an exaggeration.

"I'm sure there are an assortment of remedies, but the fact that access to healthcare _EVER_ factors in to your career is manifestly wrong."

It really doesn't. The majority of companies provide healthcare for their employees. I've even worked for a company of 10 people and had fantastic healthcare.

"Have you ever decided _not_ to take a risk starting your own small business because of loss of healthcare coverage?"

No. You can pay for your own insurance, which includes doctor prescription, checkups, and you won't go bankrupt in an emergency (or paying for the insurance).

"Have you ever had a family crisis and through it been forced to continue working in order to keep healthcare coverage?"

Even if you have 0 coverage, a hospital will be forced to take you. If you get bills, you can negotiate with the hospital and you can get your bill down 90%. There are some nonprofits that will actually pay your bills for you if you really have no money.

Most of these articles are FUD to push everyone to go to Universal healthcare. Sure our system has problems, but a government takeover will not solve the issues.

Insurance was never meant to be used for everything. We need to get rid of the insurance companies and allow hospitals to actually charge patients the true value of things (which would immediately bring the costs of most things down).

Surgeries and procedures that happen often would be brought down due to competition and the ones that don't happen that often could be covered under some sort of insurance.

Platic surgery and Lasik eye surgery are good examples of this in action. A decade ago, they were both very expensive. Competition has brought the costs down considerably. My parents both got Lasik surgery without insurance and paid under $1000. 10 years ago, it was $10,000.

I also really never got the 'not being able to start a business' mentality. Sure you have more risk, but it will take you much longer to actually have a running business if you have an increased amount of taxes due to universal healthcare.

In most European countries, you need to involve the unions after a certain amount of employees. This combined with large amounts of taxes impedes growth.

I would be interested to see how many larger companies in Europe actually started and grew there or grew large in another country and then opened up an office/location there. I'm guessing more of the latter than the former.
