I have Deep Learning with Python (Chollet, first edition) and Hands-On Machine Learning (Géron, first edition). Both books are highly recommended.

Introduction to Statistical Learning is also available for free online:

http://faculty.marshall.usc.edu/gareth-james/ISL/

Although I only read a few chapters from that book, I really like it (but I would have preferred a python version of the book).

Personally, if you have to pick three books from the list, ypu can start with these three options.
Same here, I love it. I can bake bread during short breaks from work: 15 minutes to mix and knead the dough, then 3 hours of proofing, then 10 minutes kneading, followed by 45 minutes proofing, then 5 minutes to preheat the oven, then 45 minutes baking. If I'm in the office, that's 5 hours from start to finish -- there's no time for that on a weekday. But if I'm working at home, it's just a few minutes away from my desk.
Idea/Thesis, Hypothesis, Target, Test and some where later - build.

This is a common strategy if you just want to 'do a startup' but it misses the need. Every successful business I can think of started with a founder needing a product to exist. All the startups I've been involved in have been products I wanted to exist because I needed them myself, or I had a close relationship with someone who needed them. Turning them in to something that could make money was a key goal, but I'd have built some form of them anyway even if it wasn't.

If you're just thinking up things people might want and throwing up a landing page to see if people claim they're interested I suspect you're going to get bored quickly, and you'll move on to the next even better idea very quickly.

That's not to say it can't work if you're making something just because 300 people signed up to your Launchrock page, but I think the motivation to succeed won't weather the storms that your startup will face if that's the only reason you have to build something.
Houston doesn't have explicit land use zoning, but things like deed covenants that specifically limit land use and are enforced by the city, or extremely onerous parking regulations for high-density land uses, basically result in I Can't Believe It's Not Zoning.
Same here. Even walking 20 minutes every morning is nice to start a day. Now working from home requires some discipline, and I compensate it with doing a spontaneous jogging during a day.
And yet I bumped into a childhood hero of mine, Leo Laporte of tech broadcasting fame, at an impromptu meetup he did at a bar in SF I heard about on his Twitter. So as I lived in SF at the time (~2012 I think?), I just went and met one of my role models.

Sure, you don’t know if you don’t go. But you also don’t know if you don’t know to go. Can going be taught? Isn’t that what startups do?
Formula support is in our roadmap.

Keybindings can be added easily. I disabled global key handler for copy/paste/undo/redo for now, but that can be enabled.

Images inside cells are pretty straightforward. I will update the docs.

It is appalling how poorly NC A&T was treated here and I think we all need to be having this conversation, but at the same time you can't just ignore the fact that Duke and UNC are just in a totally different league in terms of university rankings, so it's not surprising that they're getting the red carpet treatment.

For the record I think university rankings are stupid, and the college application process is certainly no meritocracy (an unremarkable high school classmate of mine got into Duke with a 3.4 GPA despite being rejected at our state's lower ranked state schools - she came from a family of Duke alumni). But it doesn't surprise me that companies engage in this university elitism, as sad as it might be.
Absolutely, we're in agreement.

"Test" doesn't necessarily mean spend on FB/G Ads. It means devise a test feedback signal is quick, low cost and yields a meaningful/measurable metric.

An idea selling a more efficient ship engine to ship owners is never going to do well in Ads, but there is a test that is more cost effective than build engine => sell engine.

> Of course none of these can tell you the 'why' -- it might be something simple that you would never have thought of, but you end up pivoting too early.

This is a founder dilemma and the thing founders need-to/should worry about. Don't build until you've got at least a decent, objective signal the idea is worth the cost of building, but how you get there is a doozy.
<cynical view> I think the misunderstanding is over the phrase "sensitive account information".

I notice it wasn't Nestle or Verizon or Disney or Heinz or Unilever accounts that got hacked.

You know, the information about "accounts". The records of monetary transactions.

MathWorks in Collaboration with Nvidia’s DLI Offers New DL with Matlab Course
Does anyone know why everyone is still buying Nvidia instead of custom AI accelerators from other vendors? For example, on paper the new Graphcore machines look like an easy win, or at least a risk worth taking. (I see this particular supercomputer was funded by Nvidia but my question is about the general trend).
Two things stick out for me:

- leftover food. Really? This is really shitty behaviour; I am all for reuse, recycle; but this is neither the time nor the moment

Independent of that:
- I do not know much about US-Universities, so I checked. Duke is US Top 10, and A&T is not in the Times ranking since it is >600. So to me calling A&T "and a damn good one." is just delusional. Maybe it is a 'not so bad one', but I think things (quality of the University) can only improve if one is willing to see the truth.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
This time around, I'm going to wait until it is clear that I'm not just funding the publishers (in case a court awards a judgement that would bankrupt the IA).

But once that is clear, definitely going to continue throwing money at IA (or whatever successor may form). They're an absolutely invaluable asset for all of humanity.
But if the original tweeter deletes it, the retweet is deleted too. So I don't consider a retweet to be a copy, but rather an alias to an image that exists on someone else's account.
Don’t tell me; tell it to the judge, he’s OP.

As for why everyone deserves the same protections that journalists do under the law, the same journalists being subpoenaed in OP are broadcasting citizen journalists’ content as well. We’re all journalists now.

> Then why do minorities such as Indian Americans and other Asian Americans do so well in tech

Because for Indians and other Asians, doing well in tech is one of the main ways of becoming Americans. If we kicked out all the current black people and then had employment-based immigrant and dual-intent visas as the main route for blacks to enter the country and start the road to citizenship, then once there were Black Americans again, they'd seem like a pretty darn successful demographic.
Yup. The author made a poll of fellow FB employees. As if that is even remotely representative of the overall market of the 25 to 44 year olds. Just consider the average salary of the polled population vs the general population.
I would somewhat agree, I grew up in a third world European country (yeah, we exist) and I realized, compared to a lot of people in Western Countries, people here (older people at least, the younger generation is influenced by the west) are extremely stubborn and perseverant, spending much of their time thinking about how they can provide and being optimistic considering all the factors, thus being less susceptible to depression and anxiety.

A lot of my family were optimistic and happy, even though they worked long hours, and tried to make it, and generally we didn't have problems with mental issues (even though we've been through an economic crisis, wars, poverty, famine, etc...)
What Twitter does likely violates (eg.) all cropped cc-by-nc-nd licensed images on twitter.

I'm certainly not in favour of allowing one of the big tech companies to systematically undermine such Creative Commons licenses just because it's more convenient for them.

If we're going to allow anyone to ignore license terms, let's not start with corporations.
Ya cos Twitter is just a CRUD app /s

Once you want to add more people to any business, you need to add even more people to that business.

Lets say you have 10 engineers and want to add another. Suddenly HR's workload has tipped over the limit and you need more HR people. Now communication is fracturing for those 10 engineers and you need a Product Manager and an Engineering Manager to centralise the steering and cohesion of those 11 engineers. Now budgets, payroll and accounting has increased and you need another Finance person.

Suddenly your office is too small so you need a bigger office and an office manager.

This is obviously a contrived example, but having worked at very early stage startup, a mid sized startup and a global megacorp while seeing all of them go through various growth cycles you start to appreciate how headcount can creep in ways which feel indirect to the most pressing problem at hand (ship more features, deliver more customer value).

You see it software terms too - as your software project scales suddenly you need more infra, your CI environment gets more complex. Suddenly your workflows don't scale as too many engineers are working on the same code, so you rearchitect (components/microservices) then you need to start building dev tooling and metrics/observability....

I guess as some kind of system scales, the leverage you gain from adding a thing to it has some diminishing curve / inverse relationship to the size of the system.
>That platform has eroded a ton over the past decade.

Maybe so but the re-posting of content with no attribution or knowledge of the source was the norm before twitter existed. Arguably it's the natural state of the internet.
Just had this conversation with an architect friend who lives in Palo Alto. The whole idea that there is a "residential zone", "commercial zone" etc needs to go away. Now with people leaving cities in droves there is an amazing opportunity to introduce mixed zoning into office areas by converting many of the empty offices into lofts. This will solve our urban housing problem. Despite what people are saying now about remote work I don't think the majority of people will leave cities long term. Cities offer facilities, infra, amenities, network and culture. We need to make cities livable and walkable.
Same, I've been enjoying using the proportional Iosevka Aile as a coding font too.
Absolute beginniners to go or to programming in general?

If it's the former, I'd recommend https://tour.golang.org and The Go Programming Language.

If it's the latter... I can't personally recommend any beginner's textbooks which are written to use go, but it might be worth looking at Head First Go, the rest of the books in the series are quite approachable.
Oh, I only discovered them like 10-15 years ago, definitely not the 90s for me :)
Leaving aside the question of what SSH access looks like today versus whenever you left...

There are many easy mechanisms to audit and monitor SSH sessions. So... no?
No. It's an inferior solution to someone having a car and driving around for shopping. Most people here seems to draw from their experience traveling to a place for a short period of time. The reality is that living near a small business (especially restaurant/cafe/bar) is crappy. You'll have people walking around, being noisy, drunk people, people parking in front of your drive way because the didn't see the signs, garbage, etc...
Was there a checkbox for: 'capture a significant part of the market for All Email and use it to build a graph that you can use for bayesian classification'?
I'm in favor of getting high powered compute in everyone's hands, so this is great to me.
ESL is an excellent reference, if you are looking for an introduction instead I can recommend “An introduction to statistical learning” by (most of?) the same authors.

Interesting. While interested in networking per se, I've never really dug into the "last mile" or how ISPs connect households, except from basic troubleshooting.
> Ideally customer is notified each time it happens - that would be cool, but likely technically not possible

You're underestimating the investments that AWS (and Amazon at large) make in to security, confidentiality, and auditing. You're also missing a fundamental implication of building AWS on AWS primitives.

As a relevant example there is only one AWS IAM and one CloudTrail. It's a core tenant of AWS IAM to put that control and root of trust in to the customers control. That means when developer support is helping with your ticket they do so via your accounts AWSServiceRoleForSupport role. That means you can control whether that role exists, which principals can assume it, the capabilities it has, and you can see those same API calls in your CloudTrail logs. Although it would make support difficult you're welcome to delete that service linked role and prevent support.amazonaws.com from assuming said role in your account.

I'd love to know if you have any data to show if that "further email education" makes any difference in future behaviour...

The cynic in me reckons "Hell no! Those sorts of people are way too often _proud_ of their zero-thought blind clicking and lack of understanding of how things work"...
Do those custom AI accelerators work with PyTorch and Tensorflow? The graphcore website says that support with PyTorch aten is available in 2020, but it's not -- and Aten is inference only, no autograd, and no extensions. Without those, we can't train on it.

Ask HN: Summer Reading List
A related approach: Have a smart phone, but leave it at home.

I stopped my smart phone usage habits some years ago, but I find that I still "need" it for some specific 2FA apps, in particular banking. So I just keep it permanently sitting on my desk, silenced.
It's funny how most people think that 1000 out of 4600 employees having admin access is "not misleading" and counts as a "limited" group. It shows how in the public mind, technology groups should not be held accountable for their actions.
It seems awesome! In addition to the GUI, both the database editor and the test runner are great features for the command line.
> It only makes sense when it's about noisy and air-polluting businesses, grocery/whatever stores and offices are absolutely great to be dispersed within residential areas!

Grocery stores (even small ones) can be very noisy, especially with extended business hours these days. I used to live In an apartment above a grocery story with a small parking lot for a long time. This was also in a mixed zone area (mostly residential, a few shops, barber, etc).

At 6am, trucks start rolling up and delivering food (although they are only supposed to do that at 7am, on some days they’ll start at 6). That means very loud beeping from the trucks backing up and shouting to the grocery employees above engine noise. Throughout the day, there will be random noise (honking in the parking lot, people slamming their cart into the barrier, etc) and sometimes people get drunk in the parking lot and start shouting (usually until 11pm, the grocery store closed at 10). And once in a while, their security system went of and the police show up and make some noise at 4am. With an open window (which you had to have in the summer — air conditioning is an exception in the part of Europe where I lived) you can hear all that noise almost as if you are standing next to it.

I never minded it too much since I’m a very heavy sleeper but I can definitely see that some people would get very poor quality sleep. And no landlord ever wants a store to be built above their apartments because it lowers the value dramatically due to the mentioned reasons.
> If twitter ‘verified’ means anything, it means a chain of identity has been established between Twitter and the purported owner of that account.

Not really, a blue checkmark is just a status symbol.
The issue is for companies that just want to sell clothes, without also being forced into a wide variety of shallow, poorly thought out political stances that could blow up in the companies face. Note just how much of this article is the 'model' talking about what is basically politics. They're half model, half politician. This is 100% liability to most of their employers, who ultimately just need a good looking mannequin to wear some clothes or pose seductively for advertising.

A GAN generated face textured onto a convincing 3D model means you can just keep clicking or adjusting until you got a truly beautiful model, without needing to pay extra for it, and you know your exposure is capped in entirely predictable ways. This model won't unexpectedly cause trouble for you, or demand you take a particular stance you may not agree with in order to employ them.

Is is really possible? How do you deal with banking and 2FA? SMS are not safe.
I disagree, perseverance is not the same as goal-seeking for goal seeking's sake, or at least, it doesn't have to be.

Twenty years ago I set a thirty year goal, literally bet my life on it. It wasn't until two years ago that I was reasonably sure it had a chance of success. I had to, and continue to basically give up everything, no one funds very long term research, so I had to learn to live on less than $200 a month. No healthcare, not being able to buy a new pair of glasses, only being able to buy clothes once a year or so. But I found a university who believed in my work, gave me an office and a flat on campus outside of Phnom Penh and the freedom to follow the project wherever it went. No salary, but it's been enough.

Perseverance is what keeps you sane, gets you up in the morning. It gets you through whatever is thrown at you. I have not had a happy or easy life, but it has been a life full of purpose. I have seen and done things that most people couldn't imagine, that has been, many times, too weird to be believable even as fiction.

Perseverance is a skill you practice every day for the rest of your life. But there are many small compensations. You find kindness and beauty and from time to time pleasure in unexpected places along the way.

With the university's help we will go to press with the first volume later this year, with a volume every year or so until it's finished on or about 2030. No one would willingly choose such a life, you fall into such things, and I was one of the stupid one's who took on such a ridiculously ambitious challenge. With a little luck I will live to see it through to the end.

So for some, purpose and perseverance, trump happiness and comfort and security. Though I admit I am likely and edge case.

I must say though, my wife and I sure as shit would like to live on a little more than $200 a month. :)
Well that's just a matter of time. I posit that given sufficient time for technology to develop, anything can be practically engineered.
Yep, that's it. There's a cool video about it here:

Businesses also tend to line the major roads (or at least be clustered at major intersections) whether it's city or suburb. And suburbs are apparently planned to have major roads running through them with fairly regular spacing.
And you do the same in VHDL and Verilog. And like in Chisel, you have to manually pipeline it and you can exactly control where registers are used and how resources are reused.

You could build something HLS like using Scala/JVM and Chisel, but Chisel itself is much closer to traditional HDLs.

Graphcore claims they do. I don't know true that is though.
I guess we're a bit off topic at this point but I think the only glaring structural issue is the winner takes all voting.

> electoral collage

I'd disagree that the US got this wrong; it made a lot of sense historically. These days it arguably introduces some unnecessary inefficiency into the process but I don't think that really matters in practice. The primary objection seems to be that it doesn't reflect the popular vote, but that's entirely by design and arguably the right thing to do.

> two party system

I agree with this but want to clarify that it's specifically first past the post due to winner takes all voting that causes this. It badly needs to be fixed but why would party politicians directly vote against their own career interests like that?

Separately, political parties themselves were argued against when the country was founded but sadly they were allowed. I'd note that most (all?) western countries also got this part wrong (IMO).

> The large population makes it hard to get enough consensus to make fundamental structural improvements

This is intentional. AFAIU, the US political system was specifically designed to be resistant to change in order to avoid the failures of previous republics.

> reduces the influence of an individual vote for any national office

Things were hypothetically (AFAIU) supposed to be done at the state level (think EU) but the interstate commerce clause ended up doing wonders for that.

* Photographer sued Retweeter for distributing their work without proper credit.
There's a lot to be said for working on solutions to problems you have yourself. But I think that also leaves a lot of very fertile ground untouched - the problems that startup founders tend not to have, but many other people do.
> how do you craft a mission from a hodgepodge of difficult and unrelated skillsets?

I'd say you don't have to fit the entirety of your skillset into a mission to be happy/successful, and that a mission with only part of your skillset doesn't imply you'll be at a competitive disadvantage.

All attained skills and knowledge do — or will eventually — contribute in one way or another to your path, even if they are currently irrelevant to your mission.

Personally, the best decision I have made was to start going to a psychologist weekly. It's essentially a debugger for the mind, provided you put in the work of dumping your mind data on them.
That's talking about Amazon Retail, not AWS

The customer data on Amazon Retail is Amazon's, not the seller's , just like the customer data when you buy shampoo from Walmart is Walmart's, not Procter&Gamble's
