What are you talking about? That's a ridiculous overgeneralization. There are plenty of things that kids do NOT recover from and we now know that moderate marijuana use is NOT one of them. edit: emphasized the double negative to pr

No, they don't. The government subsidies promised to soy bean farmers in the mid west are a direct result of the market moving away from them as tariffs from China make the US soybean market less affordable. Government subsidies are ty

In this case, yes. They develop and maintain some of the best deep learning tools out there and it's completely free and open source. They have also publish a ton of high quality research in the field of AI. Facebook may have it's

There's a lot of truth in this essay but there are also a lot of unsubstantiated claims made by two people who clearly don't actually know how the Echo and Alexa are developed. The tone and language implies they know what they&#x2

It's an interesting idea but, if I understand it correctly, I don't think it would be able to capture the majority of particles emitted from the collision zone. Modern detectors are designed to be as hermetic as possible so they c

You're reading a bit too much into the "raw data" part. An average event that is saved to disk is about 1MB in size but that is with compression. The uncompressed ADC counts obviously would add up to a lot more than that give

These experiments typically run 9 months out of the year with (very roughly) 50% up time. That's (again, very roughly ) 25,000,000 seconds. That's 250000 petabytes a year [0]. And by "raw" I'm talking about the ADC

It's not quite that simple. The CMS detector (one of the two main detectors/experiments operating at the LHC) spits out about 10TB of raw data per second. This is more than any system can handle at the moment. To deal with this ov

This is complete nonsense, at least in my org. Interns are given projects that are as far from production code as possible. I'm sure there are managers out there who have done this but it does not extrapolate to the entire company and

The conclusions you draw from the results that are presented seem to be a bit of a stretch. From the accuracy table it is pretty clear that the LSTM model outperforms your DNC model in most classes (for both datasets the LSTM achieves the s

I'm not talking about simulating background. Every experiment uses simulation (an extremely accurate and well understood package called GEANT) to simulate the detector response to measure efficiencies. You're absolutely right abo

Vertex finding is the first step in most track reconstruction algorithms. But it's still very difficult. The number of trajectories that can be formed from discrete points blows up combinatorically. When you have hundreds of thousands

This is not a problem that can be solved just by throwing more compute resources at it. It's not as simple as simply having too much data to process, the real issue is that each detector has a time resolution that goes down to about a

As already pointed out, detector efficiency is determined through extremely detailed simulations of the entire system. Those measurements are done in a completely orthogonal manner so the complexity of the model has nothing to do with the s

That's not true at all. You don't have to be a "hyper expert" to get tired of standard chess or to enjoy trying new games. I am not a even a regular expert at chess and I enjoy a few chess variants from time to time.

Linear Algebra libraries have been using GPUs for longer than molecular dynamics. What's your point?

A lot of people have more important things to worry about than the respect of their peers.

Every company pays more later, I was trying to say that the pay gap between other companies disappears for mid+ level positions. Also, they do not treat employees badly. Are there cases where certain managers treat their employees poorly? O

This is selection bias. You have first hand knowledge of what Amazon offers new graduates with little or no industry experience (and yes, PhD students fall into this category). The compensation for more experienced employees is substantiall

My comment was a satirical response to the parent comment, giving it pretty clear and specific scope. And the fact that they have failed in some verticals and succeeded in others only strengthens my original point: success/failure in o

And you would consider those two examples enough to doubt their ability to succeed in a completely unrelated field? Unless your answer is "yes", it's nitpicking.

Yeah because we all know how much of a problem those fake EC2 instances have become.

You could say that about any company that doesn't have crucial IP. It doesn't seem like you understand the value of a brand. >Someone could clone the features and create facebook2.com, and everyone would flock to it. This is fl

Do you have any numbers that prove the general public wants harsh drug laws to be enforced in the US (or anywhere)? As a counter example: the last few major elections for marijuana legalization have all gone overwhelming in support of legal

ASR is a hugely complex process that is handled by ML algorithms on Amazon's servers. The echo simply does not have the hardware to handle this on it's own.

The world is getting more homogenous but it has a long way to go, so I think it is still extremely applicable. And the world is nowhere near as Americanized as you think, I would argue that in most places it takes much more effort to avoid

How does taking 'no finance' out of context and applying a much more general comment that in no way applies to the very specific original context help?
