I am a graduate student at UC San Diego pursuing a masters degree with a focus on Computer Vision, Deep Learning and Robotics. I have an undergrad degree in Computer Science from IIT Roorkee (India). I've worked with two Y Combinator startups before (Razorpay and Ambient.ai). I am experienced in Deep Learning, Computer Vision as well as back-end and front-end development. Also my LinkedIn profile is https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhishek-kandoi/

I am looking for a full-time role related to Deep Learning, Computer Vision and/or Robotics after I graduate in March 2021.
Yeah I understand that they want to allow an org to make a choice so long as they agree with that choice. I also understand they’d welcome government regulation so long as it would further their cause... they just don’t say that.

> This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how public markets work.

I disagree. Most importantly, what we are seeing with so many companies being unprofitable is historically unusual. Now, I guess in 2020 everything feels "historically unusual", but it's kind of BS to denigrate someone by saying "they fundamentally misunderstand how public markets work" when the public markets didn't work this way until quite recently.

See https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/ipos-for-unp...
It's what allows cops to speed when chasing a suspect, or run red lights when their sirens are on.
And this summarizes the core problem with "moral hazards". Private companies which actually "prepare" for uncertain market conditions are not being rewarded right now.

To make this more concrete, let me give you a recent example for advertising. I was watching a YouTube clip from user Jomboy Media about a baseball strike-out. I noticed in the background the stadium seats had Delta decals for marketing purposes. The fact Delta is permitted, effectively by government authority, to continue to advertise in the "market" because of their bail-out, distorts supply and demand. Namely, Tyson Foods, which was able to be assiduous with their profits over the years and provided wages to their employees during the pandemic, suffer from this blatant "synthetic" market competition.
That futures rollover is a real killer, the winners were sellers of the contracts knowing the ETF would be forced to rollover.
only for the initial margin, not for maintenance margin
But this lawsuit alleges that even the IA's previous lending scheme was illegal.

I think the publishers are using the emergency library as cover for a much more broad-reaching lawsuit.
As I recall there used to be software (installable and appliance both) that would emulate dial-up speeds and behavior when when on a high-speed connection.
I think generic quotations, on either side, is entirely okay.

I think comparing "ever onward to victory" to "when the looting starts, the shooting starts", i.e. "I approve of and will authorize the use of lethal force for property crimes" is a little of a stretch.

Or "vicious dogs" for people protesting at the White House. These are directly relevant.

"I will use the unlimited powers of our military" - so many problems with this statement.

This is someone making direct and focused statements of threat and intimidation, who has a history of racist and violence-encouraging statements, from "punch him in the face, I'll pay your legal bills" and on.

The challenge is that finding left-leaning populations actively, pro-actively advocating (sorry, "warning") of violent action is a lot more challenging.

For some reason some Americans believe police officers should respond to non-violent reports and crimes fully armed instead if reserving armed response for cases which justify escalation of force.
> Capitalism evolved into socialism. The free market started subsidizing meels-on-wheels.

More like: VC's headlong approach to funding everything under the sun in order to maintain some semblance of ROI is what led to this. The fact that they squander so much fiat is with nearly no repercussions, and little change to the order of things is the real astonishing part [1] as Misra lost $18 billion last year (a Historical record for Softbank) and still got a pay raise! VC's are operating just like Banks did in 2008, which helps re-enforce my argument that they too have become banks. Misra is former Deutsche Bank Debt trader and their wasteful and parasitic models are being deployed in this space and creating the forth that leads to bubbles and busts that distort the real innovation happening and often ignotring those smaller but valuable venture worth funding in exchange for short-term gains that seem to only generate losses.

The real winners are Companies like Square who sold their (obsolete) products to companies like Doordash flush with VC money and use it to invest into Bitcoin and its related infrastructure as well as studies for UBI as its clear the World will need it moving forward.

There is nothing humane about what any of these food delivery apps does or represents (just go look at their subreddits) which perhaps does align with socialist theories when put into practice--I've lived in and worked in what was former Yugoslavia and former Soviet satellites nations to realize what it really looks like and its usually the same paradigm of an overworked, underpaid and exploited underclass. That work culture never changed. Anyone wanting to revert to that is welcome to do so in my opinion, and that usually looks like what you see working in a warehouse for Amazon.

The funny thing is personal offense to "bas business models" applies in the opposite direction politically as well. There are some who are outright infurated by high productivity-high wage -low turnover arrangements in "lowly" jobs by their rivals when they should take an attitude of never interupt your rival while they are in the middle of making a mistake. The best I can guess is that strategic doctrine becomes dogma as an end in itself.

If anything shouldn't they be glad about idiots with more money than sense investing poorly like that? Unlike profitable endeavours it reduces societal income inequality by running at a loss to the lesser paid employees. Eventually the upper class twit will level a niche by their failure if they don't learn.

Obviously it would be better if it was spent on something unprofitable and a source of productive societal good but the marginal upside is no accidental "charity displacement" unintended consequences akin to famine relief collapsing farming.

Does this imply that poetry will "solve" dependencies quicker the more of the dependencies use `pyproject.toml`? Or is that "hidden" once something is sent to PyPI anyways?
Fleet sales would track pretty closely to rental car use (and therefore travel), right? If so, why would bankruptcies among mostly-commoditized rental car companies impact automaker bottom lines? Avis needs to buy more cars to make up for the volume spike from Hertz' reduction, keeping aggregate sales constant relative to a no-bankruptcy scenario.
Trolltech was doing quite alright before KDE was even an idea and they have gotten more money from Blackberry, Nokia, Jolla and Ubuntu failed attempts than from KDE.

They are the only viable alternative to WPF/Win32 on medical devices, automotive infotainment systems, factory automation dashboards, MCUs displays, ticketing machines,...

I bet that whatever KDE decides to do it will hardly affect Qt's profits.

First they have to make KDevelop match QtCreator, 3D Studio and Design Studio, then we'll see.
That its good on them. Unlike these FB virtual protesters who will not put virtual mask and put their virtual health in danger to show they "stand" for something.

Interesting concept, worth exploring. Except the documentation isn't very good. In so far as there are examples provided, with my API key, that don't work. If you're going to provide examples... test to see if they work. I don't care if it provides me weather in Timbuktu, but it should work.

Ask HN: Opportunity for a New Bell Labs
Hey HN,

I’m a Research Scientist working on various deep learning related topics. It feels to me like ML related hype is dying down, which is a good thing in my opinion.

An interesting trend I’ve seen anecdotally is the increase in research collaborations remotely.

I’ve been discussing with lots of my colleagues and friends across research and engineering, and it feels like there are so many low hanging fruit in bridging the gap between research and application in different ML topics like Meta Learning.

Do you think there is an opportunity for a distributed research organization to build practical useful ML tools that may be commercialized down stream? I feel that people are interested but I don’t know how to lead a group like this.
My guess is the parent poster means residents are leaving. I know people who live in an apartment in Manhattan. The only way they can afford it is by renting out a room through AirBnB whenever they can. However, the pandemic+recession means much less demand for AirBnBs in Manhattan. On top of it, they have less work because their industry has effectively shut down from the pandemic. The result is that they can't afford Manhattan because the landlord refused to reduce rent, so they'll be moving out.

I think this was and still is a common misconception, and the interesting thing is that Bezos has talked for a long time about how they are not (and should not) be optimizing for profit, and that they are looking at free cash flow as their One Metric That Matters. Here's an old shareholder letter from 2004 where Bezos explains his reasoning:

It's because the exception is 'exceptional' or low probability that the rarity of the exception proves the general trend that everyone is expecting. Otherwise it wouldn't be called an exception, correct?

"If there wasn't a rule, then you wouldn't call that an exception."
Really? You don't think an arresting officer should be legally protected against frivolous lawsuits because they accidentally bruised the wrists of a non-compliant suspect in the act of handcuffing?

Small banks don't necessarily mean more stable or better banks
I've always been puzzled by accredited investor regulations. For an over-simplified explanation for most countries such as the US and Canada it means one has at least $1,000,000 of investable assets. Accredited investors can invest in things that governments prohibit non-accredited investors from touching, such as most forms of private equity. The rules are there to protect amateur investors, however governments still allow anyone to participate in shockingly risky investment vehicles.

Our regulations are not built for purpose, and I don't think it's possible for there to be an effective way for governments to tell individual investors what is "too risky" for them.

A lot of it just comes down to individuals being responsible for educating themselves or preferably hiring a financial advisor.

A warning to be cautious, clearly. A wreck is an accident. Inciting shootings of people is an act of violence. One is attempting to save lives, the other is attempting to end lives.

Tunisia after the revolution. Their resolution was to not enforce laws until they have an immunity law. You can blockade most of the roads here today and the police forces will not show up. Or just show up to try to negotiate with the protesters and convince them otherwise.

And in case you are wondering, it made most of the country into chaos because while most of the citizens are going their way there are people who will seek trouble.

There must, certainly, be a middle ground. But government do enjoy a strong police force that they can use at will.
“Why did we allow so many unprofitable companies IPO? When did losing money become acceptable and the new normal for publicly traded companies?”

First off, the SEC “allows” companies to go public in the US. Any company can do so, assuming you meet the regulatory requirements. Being profitable is not one of them. Being transparent enough on their business and their outlook _is_ one of them.

Now, when you go public, you take on a bunch of additional constraints - like having to report regularly to shareholders, that private companies don’t have to do. So now, the question should be “why did investors invest their own cash into unprofitable companies IPO’ing?”

The answer partially lies into how profitable companies typically do not IPO, as they do not need capital. Want to be a part of IKEA? Not a public company? The Mars Group, who sell most candies worldwide? They are also doing great. LEGO? Nope.

Okay, so you have investors - pensions funds, private individuals and many others - who want to invest, and gain returns on their money. So why do they invest in no -profitable companies? Because they think it’s an investment that they are comfortable with. And they usually believe that short- or long-term, their stock value will go up, thanks to the performance of the company.

Welcome to how publicly traded markets work.
I'll rent to you at $5000 a month with a $4k discount month to month. That discount is renewable solely at managements discretion after 12 months. Seems egregious.

Quebec and Louisiana both.

Common law is common in the English speaking world because it is derived from common law as practiced in England. However both Quebec and Louisiana were acquired from France and kept the French legal system. (OK, Quebec lost French law, and then was given it back so that they wouldn't rebel and become part of the USA.)

In Europe broadly, civil law is more common.

Same here with USO. I didn't fully understand it at the time, so I used USO because you can buy and sell like a stock. I thought that it would just be a proxy for investing in oil futures contracts, similar to how buying SPY is basically a proxy for buying a weighted basket of stocks in the S&P. I learned that I was wrong the hard way (luckily didn't wager anything I couldn't afford to lose).
Sometimes! A very simple example is code that uses "async" as a variable name. It became a keyword in 3.5, which was an enormous pain in the ass.

We all know not to trust COVID death counts from China. HK police brutality is something like that. We have video evidence of a few murders. As for the actual count, no one knows.
> Yeah I understand that they want to allow an org to make a choice so long as they agree with that choice.

They are part of the org. They want a say in what that org does. Is this controversial? People want the world to be a certain way and don't want it to be other ways. This is hypocritical?

> I also understand they’d welcome government regulation so long as it would further their cause... they just don’t say that.

Ok, so you're admitting to setting up a literal strawman but we should trust your ability to read the thoughts of hundreds of people.

You're clearly having a normal one.
The whole point of a walkout is to cost the company money. If they forfeited their stocks and used up vacation time it wouldn’t be nearly as effective. Also why go straight to quitting when you can keep your job and change the company?

I'm finishing my PhD in september.
I worked with nonparametric Bayesian models and Markov decision processes to optimize the monitoring of the quality of service on the Internet.

I'm looking for a job involving programming, statistics, and if possible computer networks.
Pretty late, came to this post from the post on the exploit unc0ver uses being patched, but Liberty does not work with the app "NemID", which is sort of a 2FA for all banking and public service apps in Denmark. Have yet to find a JB hider that does, and so had to un-jailbreak.

With this knowledge one can become a hacker. It's that simple. I've hacked into systems by using my curiosity and this background knowledge.

A hacker is defined as someone who's curious about technology. If you have this knowledge and apply your curiosity to understanding more of it, especially on how systems shouldn't behave but somehow do, then you're a hacker. An example of this type of hacking is creating Tetris in the game of life.

If you break into a computer system (legal or illegal), you're a hacker.

This knowledge helps you to both goals. It helps towards the broadest definition of what being a hacker is, no matter which person you talk to. There is of course the requirement that you're curious as well. But IMO if you're capable of successfully passing this, then you are curious and when given free reign, it'll be applied and you'll learn even more about computer systems.

It's not the only way, but it's one way of doing it. It's not the best way either, but it does answer the question: I want to become a hacker? How? Well, follow this path, tick off every box, notice the change within you and your thinking and voila. You're a hacker.

Obviosly, this is simply my opinion. Feel free to disagree. But I do view that it is that simple. Bear in mind that this path takes at least 2 years if you don't know how to program. So it's much easier said than done. It took me 8 years to get to this point (I studied a lot of other things).

Given that explanation, is there something you don't get? It's a genuine question.
