I admit I don’t have much experience with those, I’m a Keras and CNTK guy but the principles will be the same: marshal your data into a huge matrix of floats/one-hot and hand it off to training where it will spend 99.9% of it’s time. I

Type-safety helps you ensure that your training script is not going to fail after a couple hours because of some simple type error. This isn’t a failure mode that ever happens in DL... 2 hours into the job you will only be dealing with fl

There have been various dodgy dealings around subsidies, it’s by no means as clear-cut as that. This freezes rivals out.

Coastal disdain for the middle has long been a thing yes. I suppose the modern difference is that when manufacturing was still onshore, no one cared what the coastal elites thought.

If one sits silent, how can the other gauge if they are good friend material? Watch some of the movies with Jay and Silent Bob to understand this.

He might have regretted being so abrasive as of late, but let's not paint things as if he failed to accomplish much because of that. Like Stack Overflow. They got to where they are though encouraging ruthless curation and moderation

At my previous job on my last day there was no one in my reporting line around so I went to the group next door and asked their manager if I could hand in my company BB and credit card to him instead. He was bemused but said OK. An hour lat

Well, consider common terms like “flyover state” and “rust belt”. What do you suppose a person who talks like that really thinks about the people who live there?

how much would the loss of half of the US Navy have affected world politics and conflicts? Probably quite a lot; the 600-ship Navy was half of Reagan’s strategy to bankrupt the Soviets, the other half was Star Wars (SDI). The money that w

I guess it’s a choice between watching show X in comfort or standing in line for 6 hours for a chance to spend 10 seconds with an actor/actress from show X. Probably not even the main star as they have better things to do. Put it like

Are you only thinking about her public marketing image? Sure, I am aware of that, but making fans buy multiple copies of the same album to be in with a chance of spending even more money on a concert ticket is part of that image too.

by gaius 8y ago
Making fans buy more than one copy of the same album is pretty low. If it was just “buy all the singles” then at least you would get the B-sides or remixes too. I am a big fan of T-Swizzle but I like her a bit less now.

Swift’s choice to offer “boosts” that could be procured by buying her album several times I am really shocked and disappointed, Tay-Tay always seemed so nice. Whereas you would expect it from, say, Metallica, who take contempt for their f

Right now the employer can claim that your severance pay is your consideration for the noncompete period. In cases of layoffs (vs resignation) where severance would be due non-competes are almost always voided. You would only see it if th

programmers instinctively overcomplicate things in interest of collective job security It’s more likely boredom. Cranking out yet another CRUD app is more fun if you do it in a weird way. And a new “skill” for your resume.

That is kinda what an overarching noncompete is isn’t it? Cults always try to forbid former members spilling the beans.

Indeed - in fact that is exactly what I do. Walk/train to work, drive to the hills or the coast at weekends. What I am responding to above is the assertion “I don’t need a car myself therefore no one should be allowed to have one”.

So some kind of semi-private transport (e.g. shared autonomous cars) is probably required You can have the on-demand voice-activated self-driving car experience right now: it’s called a taxi. Is that viable for all your use cases?
