But isn't that like 'forcing' the readers to the full length of the article? It's fine if the content is very compelling. I think it has to have something to do with reading online. It's really challenging to get re

+1 for local mails. I love it when I can open it offline and fast to read / write some long emails.

I wonder if it is because using backpropagation all non-linear functions are chained together when the weights are learnt? Is it naive to think by that formulation the results will be quite similar since the final model equations are close?

Well not commenting on the difference in systems, you only need to look at the founders of these companies. The Taiwan / South Korea world top U.S univ graduates vastly out number the chinese ones. I doubt some even got a good educatio

Semiconductor foundry is the current bottle neck of China. The agreement with U.S is lethal for mainland chip manufactures and will potentially grind the electronics market down to a halt. 4 of top 10 pure-play companies in the world is in

Very cool work! I wonder the same, for a 'cluster' I'm expecting performance and large memory for example for scientific computing. Other than that I couldn't think of any other use cases. If anyone could enlighten me? C

There are substantial number of internet users capable of breaking out of the GFW. At least to my knowledge. The VPN request signature is actually very obvious and prone to be recognised by GFW. There are many other recommended methods. A l

She is hugely popular in east asia. Although the popularity did reach Europe but for some reason not the UK, manga/anime in general I feel. Am I wrong? Could anyone explain why?

That's my worry too. A lot of us are very defensive now even to be reasonable. However it is hard to buy these videos if you were born and raised in China, simply because you understand the culture around it. For example there are a lo

Good old days with Lucene powered indices! So many memories. That query expansion trick would have saved me many hours of tweaking.

It's true that the lack of awareness of privacy is pretty prevalent even in industry. Hence the ease of obtaining large amount of highly curated data. But it is also true that these details are used as material for sensationalist journ

There were 8 main doctors involved at the initial mess up. Eventually they are all publicly restored but the case of Li Wenliang led to a storm of internet protest (which I believe is the only thing covered in mainstream media). Some couldn

I don't want to represent anyone but I personally think the fear is a bit over exaggerated. Ordinary people in general don't have such fear. You really have to get the attention of the very top and pissing people off big time. It&

I don't 100% agree. Actually we do criticise CCP alot and it's as proliferate and popular as a cultural phenomenon itself (especially the older generation since people in power back then were even worse). It's true no one wou

I would add that the Golden Rule is more on a personal (one on one) level. For that I agree it is universal. For one vs a population / a community vs an individual it may not apply.

People are emotional and ideological with these matters. I don't think it's HK people's fault. However I do think understanding and communication is the key. Waging wars on ideological differences is toxic and hiding real iss

Any links to the origin of these movements? Personally it seems a very bizarre strategy to use independence to bargain (it will for sure provoke rather than evoking 'decency'). Any chinese would agree I think. I lived in Ireland f

A HK friend of mine who's strongly opposing CCP told me independence isn't what most HK citizens want (a hoax even quoting his words). It was a merely a weaponised piece of propaganda by the CCP mouthpieces. By now I can't te

Fellow lindy hopper here too. Yes the communities around the world have been hit hard. Social dancing is unfortunately an ideal setup for the virus to spread. I share your hope and look forward to dancing again.

It's even more interesting from the perspective of a non-native english speaker who learned reading and speaking (english) in a mixed fashion. From my personal experience my quickest progress was not made during the systematic learning

I think there's a difference between pure mathematics and applied math in these discussions. Exploring the dark room of math is one thing while having a whole lot of great tools and figuring out how to use them in a rain forest to buil

I often wonder how much (percentage-wise) the model is 'encoding' certain knowledge, the equivalent being how much does a person know about web development etc. A lot of research are using transfer learning in this fashion, which

Agree. For classes of problems that human have poor understandings (e.g biology) even better algorithms can not provide better answers. The optimisation might need to happen elsewhere such as re-phrasing the problem or better understanding

I mostly agree but the competition in the field will dictate that. Like you stated if it's features you are after and the sold party won't mind these small details then maybe they (developers) are interchangeable. But e.g in scien

And there's the potential risk of being mediocre on many fields and become less competitive in each area. My opinion is it really needs to be the field you love (biology, science etc) to be worth the effort.
