We definitely don't have good enough face recognition for use in combat. We have face recognition that mostly works if you've got a small pool of faces and a clear photo. Not really sure why you would want to put face recognition

I moved away from the bay area, because housing is the problem. Or at least housing + transit. The reason labor is expensive is because housing is expensive, which is totally unsurprising because everyone's cost to live there is hig

I'm curious what resources you found useful to learn stats modelling and what sorts of approaches have been useful. On one hand, it's almost a tautoloy that specific models should be better than general models, but I worked on som

If you read the terms and are unhappy enough with them that you would want to file your own lawsuit, then you should exclude yourself. If you accept the terms, then you're giving up the right to sue them separately.

I think Facebook is an example of a service that has - you use an email & password to log in, but your name is what is displayed everywhere. But Facebook has made other trade-offs that people might not always agree with: it requires peo

People on Twitter have mentioned that this probably extends private set intersection where each party learns the intersection of a set without learning either input set, but that wouldn't quite be enough. If you assume there is an algo

This is pretty cool! Where are you getting these images from? I would love to see this expanded to different genres of sites too. I've noticed that (niche) fashion websites have their own aesthetic that is a bit divorced from the mains

There was recently a class action over this practice: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-agrees-t... You should act quickly to either submit a claim as part of the settlement, or exclude yourself

Colonialism is a loaded word, but if you look at India trying to force cell phone companies to manufacture in India I think there is a clear desire to drive economic development through policy. I don't really blame them either, China o

This seems sort of like a "Duh" moment to me, but Wheaton's deference to moderators here is amusing, since no-one ever cuts Twitter any slack.

Collect offers from companies in SF, and then proceed to either quit or take them to management. I mean, I refused to work in the south bay when I lived in the bay area for this exact reason - if they started their company there, they are l

Not sure how this works specifically, but usually you step back a bit and say that what you actually want to determine is not whether a user performed a transaction, but how many users who saw a specific ad bought a product, and then you de

The issue here isn't that conservatives can't go somewhere else to get their news, the issue is that everyone involved in this debate wants to have their view of what people should read imposed on others. So while doing something

This seems to be the actual letter: https://cyprus-mail.com/2018/08/28/neighbouring-rights-a-que... Which is very light on policy and heavy on the emotion. If any form of link tax is passed you can probably e

I like notebooks. I like them for data work. I like them for prototyping things that many may consider software engineering. I still think this presentation has a lot of good points about where they could improve.

I think the context that most commenters are missing here is that this is not an argument that you will make more money with a PhD. The focus of 80,000 hours is on "effective altruism" where the goal is to have the greatest positi

The water reflections are better, but the non-RTX water is already pretty good; the last link with the fire reflection is pretty baller though.

Google ReCaptcha is a pretty low friction way for (most) users to get your content. You can do this while serving your real content to Google.

Uber needs self-driving tech to be cheap and available. In the long run this seems likely, but in the short term Waymo seems to be gearing up to start their own app, and if they have a cost advantage over Uber, Uber will be burning even mo

You can always start with the letter, even if it gets ignored, it costs you little to try while you investigate more complicated approaches.

This is small bore, but I was working on a startup idea for a while and met an angel investor at a meetup and asked them to grab coffee to talk about my idea and they were happy to meet and talk, nothing came of it, but nothing came of my s

Yeah, individual statistics are easy to find, i was hoping someone had pulled it all together into a detailed report or book or something.

Yeah, I think the recent death of domain fronting and the collateral damage from Russia blocking Telegram are pretty indicative. Regimes are completely willing to block large chunks of the internet if they can't do targeted blocks. And

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really mad at how much the CEO of the big tech company I work at makes, it really has no impact on me. If we took his compensation and spread it around, no-one would feel it. I was much more irked b

I think looking at relative growth numbers is illustrative. Germany should have an easier time hitting high percentage growth than the US, starting from a lower total, but they don't. Though the rest of the continent is doing even wors
