You will still benefit from your past experience. Novices don't know what to pursue, so they waste a lot of time. You're past that, you have the luxury of just knowing which fluff to ignore. As to how to get back into it: it'

From my past life as a hiring manager: having a portfolio (or better yet a demo that you can show during your interview) helps junior hires a lot. It helps in 2 major ways: 1. I can see that the junior hire actually _did_ something worthwhi

Still not going to work for autonomy. Expect better ADAS and nothing else. The computer vision problems they need to solve to make autonomy work reliably are not solved yet, and I would be willing to bet good money that they won’t be able t

It was obvious to me right during Jobs’s demo that iPhone would completely destroy everything that came before and take all the profits. And price is much easier to lower than it is to raise, and Apple did lower it about 2 months after rele

Well, the tools are free and open source, and other pretrained models are available for download. All that’s missing is an expensive PhD or two to make sense of it all, so that option is also available. You can do ML/DL on Google Cloud

Meh. As far as I'm concerned, it does _exactly_ what it says on the tin -- democratizes access to custom ML. Will you get a state of the art model out of it? Probably not. Will you be able to train a decent model and deploy it at scale

I wonder if this will be met with the same intensity of internal backlash as their participation in that DoD object detection competition (AKA project Maven). I mean, helping the authoritarian Chinese government censor the web seems worse t

Why do you think they will be more (as opposed to less) efficent? Also, particular stacks attract a particular type of developer, and some are better than others. In particular, a lot of the ones that are good have been switching to Linux f

C++ is alive and well at all those companies, yet the bar chart shows zero. This immediately makes the rest of this “data” suspect.

“Clear” is a weasel word propagandists use when matters at hand are anything but. Please provide evidence. As far as I can tell, the main aim was (and still is) to sow division, and the ads targeted the liberal side more simply because thei

To be fair to MS I’m pretty sure a physical store also would not allow you to circumvent their main profit making mechanism: markup. Ie if something is selling at WalMart they probably won’t like if the package says “go to our website and c

Just do it at the same time you do the router upgrade. Updates are released every couple of weeks. You don't have to install all of them, and not all of them require a reboot, but you could totally do it was I describe. I do have a sep

I don't know why technical people bother with anything else these days, TBH. You don't even need a separate server for it: just use a separate network card in an existing machine. And even if one decides to buy a separate machine,

How about we start with self-driving _trains_ that don't fly off the rails when some train engineer ignores the speed limit, and don't run into each other due to mis-routing. That'd be a good start for this whole "self d

Paint, maybe, though unlikely, but the airframe is almost certainly identical to the one that was shot down. The last F-117 was delivered to USAF in 1990. The aforementioned shoot-down was in 1999.

Could you be more specific regarding why it's "hard"? I reject the premise that such a limited feature set can be "hard" to support without "cloud". Seems like some combination of NFC/QR codes, WPS an

Z80 was like a brief breath of fresh air in late 80s: hands down the most intuitive assembly syntax I have ever experienced. I bet I could whip up something decent in it even now, in a couple of days. What would one use to compile assembly

Just install OPNSense (or its less modern forebear: PFSense). It works great, has a ton of features (e.g. packet filter from FreeBSD, OpenVPN, etc, etc), and it gets security updates. I run mine in a VM, with the WAN adapter passed through

Embedded has plenty of its own ugliness, though. It just doesn't change at such a rapid clip. In fact, once you ship a thing, it's unlikely to change at all. I appreciate this "do once and forget about it" approach, but

Doesn't seem likely that they even need to remove it. An F-117 was shot down over Yugoslavia using a modified microwave oven as a lure, and an antiquated Soviet-era anti-aircraft system. Its remains were handed over to the Russians _an
