I have found the following strategy to work well: pick your battles. Some employers use test tasks to keep you busy so that you can't apply elsewhere. Other employers genuinely test your skills, but even among them there are some with

Amazon has a UI problem. Unless you have a kindle it's extremely hard to buy a book and just get the god damn epub file. It's so much harder than pirating the book that I am not surprised. A few times I had to do it too: I would b

I believe the mods replaced the medium link with the github one. The github was the source for importing into medium, so I don't think it's proper. All the formulas and images got destroyed. Could we please just share the original

Rule of thumb: if you see a galaxy-brain style graphic next to anything "AI" or "Machine Learning" then the content is probably not worth your time. This article seems to be an exception to the rule

It's indeed a very challenging task. I picked it because it's one of those where the lack of generalization is apparent. In fact, researchers study commonsense QA and similar tasks to find how we can reach generalization. I agree,

It's repeating the same patterns it learned from text. Maybe with different specific objects, but still. One good way to test this is to ask it to count. It will break very soon. A person is able to build a rule in their head: "on

If that was true, a model trained on one commonsense Q&A dataset would be able to answer questions from another commonsense Q&A dataset without finetuning. But they can't. It's the same for every task you can find, but esp

It's like this: no one is dependent, but it would be great to be able to support my relatives, they need it now.

One good lens I know is that a neural network is just good at approximating stuff. Trained properly, you can have it approximate a distribution. A conditional distribution like p(animal_species=dog | image=what I am seeing) (discriminative

Well since the next layer outputs are a linear transformation plus some nonliearity of the previous function, it's a fact that it's a change in representation. But I guess the true question is broader: "Is it proven that the

As an ML Research Scientist, I have never heard this interpretation. It's a very interesting thought that NN == kNN. It puts some of my lingering intuitions in clear wording. Thank you for this. I think you are close to truth. This wo

This so much. It's good its all in one place, but come on, it's a checklist of four whole screens. I would prefer a minimal checklist instead: what measures give you the most (security) bang per buck (effort spent)?

My beef with all of these checklists: do you expect me to spend my whole managing my security?

Honestly, no. Despite all the supposed advantages of async, I haven't found a use for it. When it comes to web apps a nginx + uwsgi + a sync framework is an unbeatable combination. The only times I have used async were when I made web

I think if you need to copy paste code from server to client you failed the separation of concerns. When is this useful, ever?

It seems like a good idea, but won't work. I can't imagine two horny teens like: M: Show me something hot baby F: Sure! But please install that app to take all the nececary security precautions before we proceed with our sexting..
