Update: GPT is clearly very confused about the meaning of the symbols. This might be due to issues with tokenization. >How might you have altered your third guess if you could try again? Given the feedback provided up to the second gues

I think their HR culture may be a little toxic. When I told them their offer was not enough, they got very irate. They said if I only care about money I’m not a good fit for their culture of builders, and that I should watch out because t

Google probably lets some amount of known-spam emails through for data gathering. See this quote from Google's "Rules of Machine Learning" [1] (A great resource by the way) > Rule #34: In binary classification for filteri

> There are many choices for a loss L (e.g. gradient, Hebbian) and optimizer (e.g. SGD, Momentum, ADAM). The output(), y, is detailed in step 4 below. I don't get it, don't all of those optimizers work via backprop?

Why not just send the email first, so that people don't have to wait in suspense to see if they still have a job?

It might still be if interest from a computational viewpoint. For instance what if you need to compute a fair and random ordering for many many elements of a set? Then the dice method is more parallelizable than the bag method.

You’re in for it! I highly recommend checking out mupdf, it was one of the more pleasant Python libraries I dealt with for this purpose.

I really like the idea of Unison, but unfortunately when I went to try it out, it was much slower than even Python. I hope they can make it performant!

It might be more about preventing them from destroying evidence.

Your disagreement with their assessment is exactly why they say it should not be used. There are two equally plausible interpretations, and as a technical term, theirs is correct, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lear

Is there really evidence to suggest that average competence, critical thinking, or intelligence has decreased?

The question of investing is not whether they will be successful or not. It is whether your estimate is better than the markets. Consider that the market is not composed entirely of HN/Reddit pessimists, so what you think may be a go

That article seems kind of suspect. They say themselves that the price stayed high after it became clear it was an error, and it was just a ~1% increase. Seems like they are just attaching causality to this for no justified reason

Well, it's mostly not Twitter betting blamed for layoffs, it's Musk. Twitter provided those jobs, not Musk. Musk is doing the layoffs, not Twitter. So someone not responsible in the least for the creation of those jobs is endin

That claim has about as much behind it as all of the full self driving claims.

Can you provide evidence for such a claim?

As I said in my comment, they are more or less equivalent as statements of fact, but different in how the fact is framed. Framing, or the context in which you state a fact, matters.

Yes, the association of men with intelligence more often than women would be benevolent sexism. I don't understand the issue you have with the terminology. Benevolent doesn't mean morally good here, it just means the person exhi

Yep, this works just fine: int compare(const void *a, const void *b) { return *(double*)a - *(double*)b; }

If you look at it that way then any algorithm is just o(n) where n is the number of matrices. O does not care about constant factors

I don't really understand the parallel. It's not like software engineers at Bloomberg really know or care all that much about finance. The vast majority just work on the software product that moves financial information.

I think it’s a tech company. They employ lots of software engineers who develop a software product which is their central business. Why do you think it is not a tech company?
