Curious what about this technology makes it front page noteworthy? Has the deep learning community been hotly anticipating the arrival of this technology, or is it more along the lines of stuffing the ballot box?

Haha! If I was up to no good I wouldn't be using my real name in my handle to ask such questions :)

Once you get beyond a few instances you'll need a fulltime person to manage your cloud assets anyway. VPC & associated networking + managing different services is not a trivial task. You'll still have an ops team. Whether it&#

It seems like napkin math could have alerted them to the potential worst case scenario costs. EC2 instance + db instance per customer alone made my jaw drop. Multiply this by 1,000, 10,000, 50,000 and costs are really regrettable. Edit: I k

Didn't see any mention of any static analysis tools for C++. Any HN recommendations?

If a car spontaneously combusts we hold the auto manufacturable liable for correcting that defect. It doesn't matter if it's a Prius or a Ferrari. These vendors are selling defective devices and it is fixable via software patch. J

Streams and lambdas have really helped reduce boiler plate. Libraries like Lombok reduce it even further.

I wonder if reddit has explored fostering or monetizing commerce that happens on reddit. Wherever people congregate there will often be commerce, formally or informally. But that presents its own set of problems as well.

Yeah there was some language and jokes in there that wouldn't be acceptable today. That was the gist.

Because given the prominence of identity as a central cultural debate, this essay comes across as tone deaf. I said it still might be because there's a tendency to judge past works by todays moral standards. For for instance, look at t

This essay would be harshly criticized if it was written today. It still might be someday.

Any thoughts on https://millionshort.com ? I've seen it mentioned here. I've thought about using it for stuff, but most of my searches are programming queries which google is actually really good at. It's noticeab

I think that code quality largely follows from discipline. We write unit tests even though it won't catch all of the potential defects, especially at service boundaries. We write integration tests even though they may not catch all of

Perhaps because it prevents them from forcing a moral code on others? Like SOPA/PIPA protected the children and also penalized those immoral women who trade sex for money.

I feel like they were needlessly dishonest and misleading and that being truthful would have gotten more people on board. Saying something along the lines of "hey, we noticed our facial recognition algorithms don't work so well fo

It's definitely a scary situation for sure. Especially considering that having due process is something that's been drilled into our heads since a very young age. From a practical perspective I just don't see any personal ben

Conversations in the workplace happen organically. Sometimes the CEO will approach you at the water cooler and say, hey, got a sec? What are you gonna do? Say "brb let me grab my recording device?" Or start filming the encounter l

This is Richard Nixon level paranoia. I think that your second point is probably occurring quite a lot, especially in tech, where empathy & people skills aren't always high up on the list of priorities. But to walk around with susp

Following this logic Spring never would have been invented in the Java world because Java EE does everything you need it to even though you don't need all of those features. Frameworks and tool chains become bloated and convoluted over

It's a false dilemma to assert that only people who work excessively find purpose in work. Plenty of people at large companies enjoy and value their jobs. They just make reasonable delivery schedules and go home to their families at 5P
