I am seeing a new UI for the past few weeks, where the FF is 10s at a time, with frames displayed over the progress bar: much like Netflix. The newer experience is much better.

I agree with you, in the context of working in a corporation. It's not a bad thing to pick tools and structure your workflows around them, because sometimes such tools serve as 'mental anchors' for standardizing a process. Th

I had seen Woz at the Computer History Museum at Mountain View. Much as I wanted to meet him and take a picture with him, I saw him politely turn down a woman who had walked up to him with what I'd assume was a similar request. It must

Recommendation for ESL seconded. One of the best ML books in terms of writing, development of intuition, breadth of topics (ofc doesn't cover everything, esp deep learning). What I love about the book is how the topics are "connec

Maybe I wasn't being clear in the last line of my response. I agree with this "People are almost always positively biased toward attractive faces due to the halo effect." The point I'm trying to make is in addition to

I have a funny story of the opposite happening to me. This is when I was leading a small team that developed specialized Machine Learning modules for clients. So we have this in-person client meeting (they had decided to travel down to our

Using WordNet used to be a very popular way to perform "knowledge-rich" NLP around late 90s upto around 2010 (approximate timeline). "Knowledge-rich" meant you could start with some understanding of the language and not

Probably another excruciating step - cellophane goes in, box goes in and is put in the cellophane, then the cards, then the cellophane cover is sealed. Irrespective of whether this is the case or not, I am blown away!

I share your sentiment to a fair extent and I have written about it before here on HN. Yes, for a lot of this stuff you don't need a PhD (and frankly I find that marketing weird for the above course). But you do need strong intuitions,

The version I had come across was "all billiard balls have the same color" in Liu's Discrete Mathematics [1]. It is an exercise problem in one of the chapters. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Discrete-Math

That's true. And that is also probably why things mightn't improve soon - if the only metrics MS tracks is Teams adoption, I'm guessing its looking good right now. If they aren't counting how many of these cases are &quo

Thank you for explaining. If anything, this points to poor use-case study and/or execution. There is a case for channels and for individual chats: details of how files upload happen should be dealt with under the hood. Frankly, it fe

Tell me about it. We moved from Slack to Teams to cut costs. Common story. Leaves a LOT to be desired. 1. The UI took the fun out of well, whatever, Slack was/is. For some of the common interest channels at work, I see less people goin

kNN is used for classification/regression. Are you maybe talking about k-means?

Relatively low on details, and most of the page has ads. Here's the original study [1], and this is the announcement from Henry Ford[2]. [1] https://www.ijidonline.com/article/S1201-9712(20)30534-8/ful... [2]

Recommend the paper "A Pendulum Swung Too Far"[0] as a nice take on Rationalism vs Empiricism. Interestingly, the paper was written in 2007 when the current crop of deep learning methods were not around (the provocative Hinton&#x2

I empathize. Been doing ML for a similar amount of time, and the amount of people who claim to know ML, but lack basics, abound. I don't think they are to blame (after all learning isn't bad, and everyone wants to capitalize on a
