Compute is most definitely a marginal cost rather than a fixed cost.... And when you start talking about buying 10s of millions in additional hardware to support the project you're trying to launch you start thinking pretty hard about

I'm surprised by all the negativity in this thread. The need to write C++ components for models is pretty real when you need things to be fast and run on CPU. God forbid you ever want to deploy that on some sort of accelerator, necessi

It's obviously a spectrum, but I feel like any org who is considering hiring a data scientist probably needs a data engineering team to begin with since you can do a lot of the analysis people want by just counting. I also think it&#x2

Thank you for what seems to be a breakthrough with implications beyond even the current outbreak. I had a few questions though: How do you compare this test to the Abbott machines? Obviously that test is faster, but how does that impact wha

As somebody in an ML Engineering role, i.e. somebody who could be asked to either fix the logging infrastructure or build some models, I would have agreed with this. But even in this day and age with ML being the new hotness, you will find

Their initial announcements also banned Google Classroom, but I guess I'll just chalk this up to a mistake then. https://chalkbeat.org/posts/ny/2020/04/04/nyc-forbids-school...

It's omitted from this article, but they also banned Google Classroom at the same time, so I'd give this more credence than I usually would...

I just tried this on the google assistant and didn't get the behavior you describe. When you look at the streaming results, you can clearly see it produce the o'clock, but it gets normalized to 4:00 at the end. Are you talking ab

I think it's worth pointing out that NLP's Imagenet moment is probably going to be seen as the ELMo/BERT papers that showed we could get significant performance improvements by pretraining models on large amounts of unlabeled

The temperature checks and reviewing video are new, but they've been saying they will provide masks for a while but have been running into shortages actually procuring them. If we assume most transmission is asymptomatic, this is large

Thanks for adding an actual example to this thread. I haven't personally noticed search get worse, so I appreciate it. Anyway, I typed in your query " IS027001", and you're right, the AWS result is at the very bottom of

To be a little flippant about this... "money printer go brrr" (as the meme goes). We can fund it through debt that we have to pay back (eg, issuing government bonds), but we can also literally print money. Printing money can have

Google tried this twice with Google Contributor, Brave already exists. Outside of the privacy/hand-wringing about tech bubble, people don't actually want this. Maybe you could drive a wedge around bandwidth, particularly on mobile

Depends on what the expected risks are. If the expected risks are worse than the virus, then yeah, probably not a great idea, but if the most likely downside is just that it doesn't work... Also, testing is not large scale. The whole p

You do need to test them on the healthy, but there are a lot of healthy people who know they are going to be exposed to the virus in the coming months because they are part of the response. It should be relatively easy to recruit from that

This might not really translate to you since the context I have taken online courses in is that I have wanted to learn more so that I could be a more effective software engineer. So I'm looking for things that show applications quickly

I don't know the state of it, but Kythe is open source: https://kythe.io/ But in reality you probably want something more like SourceGraph which packages everything up nicely so that you don't need to worry about

How are people dealing with publication policies around cancelled conferences? Are conferences still going to have proceedings where the papers are published, or does the work need to be re-submitted elsewhere? If the work is not considered

Not really. But it's significant progress compared to sticking charts like this into reports https://www.shipownersclub.com/media/2017/02/Risk-matrix-1-7... I think it's also worth saying that when

This is part of an attempt to make information security risk modelling more quantitative that has been going on for a few years. There's very little in the way of data to really back most of this up, but actually putting numbers to thi

There's still no federal autonomous vehicle legislation. The ramp hub is also infrastructure that needs to be built.

As linked in the comments above, there are a lot of different ways to define fairness and it is impossible to satisfy them all at once. One way you could argue this example is fairer: the gap used to be ~10%, now it is ~5%.

One thing I have observed recently is the existence of "10X projects". This might be a symptom of working at a big company, but I have been really impressed by the ability of some projects to achieve their ends while others get st

You're right that having an optimization system turns the problem from one of solving the problem to one of defining a metric that we directly care about. For battery optimization use cases, e.g. screen brightness, one metric that work

The US is an outlier on this, but that is precisely why it is able to attract employees from the entire world.

There are a lot of things we like, e.g. science, culture, medecine, software with large fixed costs and low marginal costs. A larger economy lets us have more of them. Of course, economic growth is not sufficient for this, but it is necessa

Google would have to become a remote management company for that to happen. But Google makes so much money that they're not really under pressure to do that. Outsourcing is a strategy employed by companies who need software engineers o
