1-2% includes people who have extremely minor deviations from the norm and requires you to use the most strict biological definitions of 'male' or 'female' that we could possibly use. The vast majority of these 1-2% are still easily assigned a gender.

From your wikipedia article-

> If you ask experts at medical centers how often a child is born so noticeably atypical in terms of genitalia that a specialist in sex differentiation is called in, the number comes out to about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births [0.07–0.05%]. But a lot more people than that are born with subtler forms of sex anatomy variations, some of which won't show up until later in life.[132]

There are some percentage of people who aren't overwhelmingly male or female, and it's important to consider them with our speech, but I don't think 1-2% is a fair representation.
That's right - most literature does show that encoder-decoder architectures outperform CTC. I think one of the main reasons for this is that CTC assumes the label outputs are conditionally independent of each other, which is a pretty big flaw in that loss function.

The blog does mention Listen-Attend-Spell (which is an encoder-decoder architecture) as an alternative to the CTC model.

(i think) when OP says "eliminating that fee is a drop in the bucket", they mean that sellers who switch from FBA to FBM would no longer need to pay (eliminate) the FBA fee... but saving $40/yr isn't much of an incentive when you suddenly have to deal with all your shipping yourself.

Yes, though that's a bit of an odd way of putting it. It's kind of like saying that if matter can't be broken down into smaller constituents beyond a certain point then atomism must be true. It's more of a definition of dualism/atomism than a logical entailment.
100% agree, but even if you don't go through the whole certification process (which is painful and expensive), it's worth spending the ~$1,000 on a "cert-in-a-box" kit to understand the framework of the standards and what kind of processes your company will eventually need to put in place as it grows.

Also in my experience, being able to produce existing docs around your standards and processes, versus producing them on-demand, helps inspire confidence in the prospect's due diligence team, because it shows them you've thought of this before they asked about it. :-)
I appreciate your perspective. I am not claiming that they don't happen (though in your experience it may be more common). I am claiming that when they do happen, the primary, initiating cause is a need on the part of the business/management to fill a role.

A person may be operating at a level that would qualify them for the new role for quite some time, but unless and until management have a need for someone in that role, the promotion won't happen.

That's why (in my experience) promotions happen more frequently when finding a new job: the fastest way to make sure the employee's readiness for a promotion lines up with business need is to find a business that already needs someone for that role.

Here's my $0.02 but most people won't like it.

1) Start by doing an extra 5-10 hours of work for your job. The good news is if you were already doing 60+ hours this is probably unnecessary. I don't have a reference to the study but people that work a lot tend to get paid more and are also usually last to go.

2) Start getting prepared for if were to lose your job. Start studying "Cracking the Code Interview", start running leet code exercises in the morning, and do some practice interviews with friends/family. Two things happen when you do this... 1) you just get sharper, which makes you more valuable (I can't tell you how many times I started prepping to leave and got a promotion from it) 2) you will be back on your feet faster.

3) Grab responsibilities that are available but aren't necessarily directly related to your position. Usually, but not always, when layoffs are required managers recognize the utility of someone that can cover work from someone that they would prefer to get rid of. I.E. if you can do some Devops, and dev, you're more useful than the person that can only do dev. This especially becomes a factor when people are overpaid. Axing 1 high salary, when theres someone that can cover the work makes good business sense
This is so unethical. I'm reaching out to the IT departments of some of these stores to ask them to block your IP address.
Fair enough, I was definitely thinking medium-size B2B and up, where the people you're dealing with while trying to sell the product are (probably) not the internal stakeholders who want to buy it (i.e. procurement, IT/security, etc)

It also depends on what you're selling of course. My experience is in data management solutions (including PII data), and standards/requirements can be pretty demanding in that world.
I would discourage this approach. Internet spam-generating campaigns aren't really an effective way of creating change, and the poor employee required to read the emails at that contact address is probably not responsible for the decisions holding up implementation.

Which is to say: Please don't advocate for behaviors that harass line employees at corps you don't like.

The title needs to be changed so brains recognize it as such. It either needs a preceding adjective or letter indicating what type of convolutional network it is.

The other option is spelling it out.

Most people will read CNN as the news channel. Even those familiar with neural networks.
I agree that bitbucket provides a nightmarish experience, but does it take in account that it's a Single Page App and thus after the initial loading the traffic will be much less?
With all due respect, if you defend a position you don't even agree with (or where you can't/won't even point to a single piece of evidence) makes for a very unfruitful kind of debate.

I mean, for every fringe position you can find some crank that "supports" it with some badly designed study, but strong claims (e.g. contradicting majority scientific opinion) require strong evidence not just "there are studies" (without pointing to any such study; how should one even refute this?).

Startpage also shows ads at the top of the search results. It claims not to track the user (similar to DDG, which also shows ads but doesn’t track the user). But there was news about Startpage being acquired a few months ago, and the trust in it has dropped for some people.

It's so refreshing to see someone taking this sort of complexity into account when planning new infrastructure. There's a HUGE cost to training and supporting a new infra paradigm that I often see decision makers ignore completely... in their defense it's a difficult thing to predict but that's not a reason to ignore the overhead!

The actual problem is that the downsides of turning (fossil) fuel into anything else are not priced in. If the damages done by emitting carbon, particular matter, nitrous gases, sulphur, ... had to be paid for by the producer, then fossil fuels would have a very bleak outlook.

Assuming we never find a viable vaccine, then this would also arguably allow them to continue the tracking for containment/mitigation.
People seem to have the idea that WeChat is some sort of amazing application -- it's not. In fact the only reason why it has the market share it does in China is simply because all competitors are blocked.

Some of WeChat's real pain points are:
- No backing up your messages to the cloud like WhatsApp or having them loaded from the server like Facebook Messenger. Moving all your messages from one phone to another is quite the ordeal .

- Complete disregard for platform standards. Specifically notifications on Android and Windows 10 are atrocious. Both WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger have notifications that are well integrated with the especially the Android notification system, WeChat notifications however are not.

-A lot of nice to have chat features are either non existent or have just recently been introduced. For example a poor implementation of quoting a previous message was just introduced like a month ago, and there are no reactions for specific messages -- and no timeline for implementing them either.

WeChat does have quite a bit of different "apps" built into it, but not really more convenient to use than the separate apps are. It's mainly just a casualty of China's lack of anti monopoly legislation.On my phone I have Alipay (the other half of china's online payment duopoly) installed together with WeChat, and almost always use it for payment (It's pretty much accepted everywhere WeChat is)
Only if you're a fascist.

Yes, fascists have logic, it's just predicated upon poor foundations.

So long as the person does not intentionally go out WHILE BEING CONTAGIOUS they have done no harm.

Look at what fear of the black man has done to stoke their oppression by fearful white morons.

Insane fears are a significant cause of a great deal of fascism.

> human mathematical notation is a human invention that I don't think can be usefully thought of as a kind of discovery

Why not? It's a discovery of visual features that the human brain and unaided eye can easily discern, and the discovery of a correspondence of those visual features to concepts that the human brain can easily remember. All of these are (on the assumption that dualism is false) physical processes.
Turnaround time for supporting the latest version on RDS is faster, and RDS supports more extensions. Then if you need to scale you have Aurora.
In CUDA I can just use ISO C++17 (C++20 around the corner) plus CUDA extensions, or any other language that targets PTX, with very nice graphical debugging from what is going on the GPGPU.

OpenCL is playing catch up with CUDA, but it requires at least version 2.0 for similar capabilities, while many vendors are still shipping 1.x drivers.

Vulkan, well it seems to be the same story as OpenCL regarding compute tooling, but lets see how much love it will get from NVidia.

I advise watching the GTC 2020 talks regarding CUDA and Vulkan compute.

This swine flu comparison is an ignorant canard. I will be glad when I can downvote chaff comments like this.
To be clear, the parent did not fail to include a citation. The parenthetical note is that rod cells are so sensitive that they react to being struck by a single photon.
I think notation can certainly be regarded as a kind of discovery. As time goes on, notation improves dramatically as a tool of thought. This improvement is a result of feedback over what works and what doesn't. The feedback is discovery.

Invention = discovery in "solution space".
Right, but the situation orbiting a black hole is more extreme than orbiting the Sun, so this is testing the theory more stringently than Mercury did.
> The crazy thing is, despite all the drought, most of our land is engineered to “ditch” water — get it off the land as quickly as possible.

Which land are you talking about? In western Kansas, fields are terraced and capture rainwater to soak into the ground water table. Since they've done the terracing, gully-washers have been non-existent and most of the time streams are dry.
It would seem that the best practical approach is to use RNNT as it still lets you do streaming predictions (while Attention won't really let that).
In my case, it's an inability to log in:

I picked up an EE (UK telecoms provider) SIM card after returning to Britain after many years abroad. Buying credits in a shop is a hassle - and hampered by my poor memory when shopping - so I decided to do it online. However, when I visited the EE site and tried to plug in my phone number and other details, I was rejected because my email address had already been registered. As it happens, I had had an EE subscription phone plan at some point before my travels. I can't remember what that phone number was, and I certainly no longer have the EE site credentials anywhere. It has not been possible for me to resolve this. Well, I could use another email address, but I've decided not to do so. There is probably an advantage in a telecom provider not having info such as name, physical address, email address etc.
Humans Learn and the Future of Education
Unfortunately Shadow is unavailable in the UK until August. Apart from that, it's a way better deal than Workstream.
I would go with invented.

I think this ends with humans changing the universe to fit their needs. The math is right because humans made it.

I think of satellites and solar orbiters made from matter waves that encompass everything. Medical applications built around them.

Humans manipulating their photoelectric properties. They still see a sun. Everything else sees the sun as a black hole because of what we did to ourselves.

Distant stars focus into existence because of telescopes on Earth. Everything that existed already leaves us alone, so to a degree they must see it too.

There's some contest to see how insignificant we can make ourselves just for petty license. Convince no one. Start building.

Odds are, other more powerful people thought of it and did it before.

That telescope in geneva to me is not just some far off irrelevant land to look at. It's in the material, a grain structure of our Sun.

Serves as great motivation.
I'm not sure if it does or not, but either way it seems like initial page load is the important part. SourceHut is not a single page app, so to compare apples to apples you'd want to load each page individually. Also, it still takes forever to switch between things on Bitbucket after the initial page load. In general for simple things like this with distinct pages, I'm pretty convinced that "single page app" just means that you've made your site infinitely more complicated, more likely to have issues, and more likely to have accessibility problems, for both developers and users for no benefit other than using some trendy new thing.

I'm sorry to have terrified you. Here's what I mean by that, and what I think should change.

Companies boast of record profits, buy back stock constantly, and pay next to nothing in taxes. Meanwhile, even with the ACA Americans scrimp and save, paying outrageous amounts for paltry healthcare that most of the First World would find totally inadequate. Education is chronically underfunded and over-regulated. Student debt is a ticking time bomb.

All of these problems could be resolved in an instant, had we the political will to solve them. Is it totalitarian to wish for a modern single-payer health system? Is it totalitarian to want my children to have access to a good education like I had in the 80s? Is it wrong to ask those who benefit most from society, to pay their fair share? I don't think so. Neither of us want boots on the ground, so to speak.

Kind of like this well trained CNN is no longer relying entirely on the raw pixel values, but is statistically inferring a brighter image from the baseline.
> I really would have liked a discussion of why people assumed the conjecture must be true, given that the only analogy presented was obviously not true.

I'm trained in the field (on the math side, actually at the same institution as Vern Paulsen quoted in the article), and I never got the impression that the answer was universally assumed to be true. One of the major consequences of a positive answer would have been that every countable discrete group is hyperlinear, which would have violated a well-known heuristic principle of Gromov that every property of all finitely generated groups is either false or trivial.

The frustrating aspect about the refutation via quantum information theory is that there is no obvious way to transfer the insight to also refute the consequences of a positive answer to the problem.

the authors infer an IFR of 0.12 - 0.2% which is smaller than other antibody studies (like the one in germany which inferred
0.37% IIRC). While it s indeed small, it reflects the current situation, not what will happen 2 weeks down the road, plus the sensitivity of their antibody testing is not precisely known yet.
The article doesn't really mention blockchain other than 2 times quickly, it seems like everyone in this comment section seems to believe that though as if they said you MUST use blockchain at every step of building something like this.
This hits on an interesting point.

There is an entropy limit to the message, but the message isn't actually the only data.

One thing humans are great at is integrating existing knowledge into a messy situation and intuiting more than is available just from the raw message.

I.e. The message has an entropy limit, but the message isn't the whole dataset.
That's because he didn't publish until he was sure he was right. He said that 99 times out of a hundred, he was wrong.
Also other senses, including proprioception. In a completely dark environment, you could swear that you see your hand waving in front of your face. That's because your brain actually does know it's there, and it's trying to create a unified model.
Food and water supply are important too, who said you can only ¨focus¨ on vaccines? I don't really understand your argument. The controversy with fluoride where some countries are totally against it while others love it shows water is important. Anyway...

None of those things you list are comparable to vaccines - something essential that is systematically, uniformly applied over the population with data kept on each individual. The science is complicated and the supply chain is fragile to being compromised. You can grow your own food and have access to tons of different water supplies, aren't forced to take pills, etc. Not many people have the capacity to do large, long term studies on the vaccine and verify that the contents of the injection are what they should be.

Empirically it's easy to see that abuse is a real danger. I assume everyone knows how the US government used fake vaccines to get 'terrorist DNA' (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/jul/11/cia-fake-vacci...). There are many disturbing stories, usually in undeveloped countries. Other dystopian shit like barcoding people with vaccination data, really seems a small step away from injecting a chip: https://news.mit.edu/2019/storing-vaccine-history-skin-1218. If you make vaccines mandatory, it doesn't farfetched to me that governments will try to move toward these things.

You can't gather DNA or chip people with food, water, pills, etc
Perhaps, but overcoming the audience's strong prior commitment to anti-science seems to be a tough haul.
