Does marketing and R&D cost grow linearly with number of rides though?

like i said it's reasonable to drive for all at different points in the past but it's unreasonable to drive for all 4 at the same time. Think about it, incentive-wise, if you complete 50 trips you got $x , if you complete 100 trip

it's economically unreasonable to drive for more than one apps simultaneously. Now, it could be economically reasonable to drive for more than one apps at many points in the past. If Lyft and Uber are so easily exchangeable, why is Lyf

> Uber has a global operations, is in multiple streams of business and has diversity across business lines This can be a reason why one would be more interested in Lyft. Uber seems like a distracted player who's losing money on many

There's a long version and a short version. The long version is you have to learn to write mathematics by yourself. Start with an intro course and start deriving theorems by yourself. Do not look at the proofs. At this stage, details a

Here's a two sentence summary of SOTA: - model free methods have seen great success in terms of learning high dimensional tasks however it suffers from being sample inefficient. In other words, it takes too long for real robots. Exampl

From the description it does sound like blink dagger and the range here refers to radiance or necro's heartstopper. It's definitely not "previously undiscovered". Also, the article makes it sound like we saw another Alph

Nothing is really a secret in SV. Do you think Waymo engineers are going to stay at Waymo for the rest of their lives? Look at Chris Urmson, AL, etc.

Explaining why this doesn't work is a great ML interview question.

The surprising thing to note here is how much optimism the street has in $twtr. Just one quarter of small beat and the stock jumped 100%. After the drop today (to $34) it's still too high for $twtr which hasn't actually proved any

Very impressed with some of Voyage's recent hires. A question for @olivercameron, What makes Voyage different? From what I understand, you pick canonical routes inside private communities. Let's assume demand on these routes are h

Does anyone know how random drafting work? If they're truly random, i.e. randomly picking 5 heroes out of 18 (CM, DP, ES, Gyro, Lich, Lion, Necro, Qop, Razor, Riki, Nevermore, Slark, Sniper, Sven, Tide, Viper, or WD) then it's muc

I'm a Legend dota2 player and also a Machine Learning researcher and I'm fascinated by this result. The main message I take away is, we might already have powerful enough methods (in terms of learning capabilities), and we&#x2

If you have money, you have domain expertise. They hired Mark Moore from NASA and Celina Mikolajczak from Tesla. Each of these people can hire an entire team of experts from NASA and Tesla.

It's not about needing it in "the real world". It's about having fun. It's about the adrenalin rushing through your veins as the clock ticking down. It's about burst of joy when your brain just clicks and the i

I don't understand the surprises here. New grads out of undergrad these days are making 120k in base + about 250k RSUs vested in 4 years + 20k cash bonus every year. That's about 200k / year for a new grad from UNDERgrad. Ian

Tesla's autopilot system is no different than a self driving car with a safety driver and should be subjected to the same regulation. In a self driving car (Waymo, Cruise, etc) driver turns on autonomous mode when the driver thinks it&

I can't imagine test tracks data being in the training set, so overfitting is irrelevant here.

There are test tracks. Both Waymo and Uber have publicly said that they have fake cities to test the code https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/08/insid... http://www.businessins

Lior Ron is not the co-founder of Uber's self driving unit. Lior Ron is founder of Otto which was acquired by Uber in May, 2016 [1]. Uber started working on self driving car in 2015 by acquiring part of CMU's robotics lab [2]. [1]

They essentially bought CMU's robotics department which ranks #1 (in terms of universities) in almost all AI conferences. They also bought part of UToronto's ML department which is where GHinton was teaching.

In science, when there's a two orders of magnitude difference, it's more indicative of distribution mismatch between the test sets. The logarithmic property of the learning curve suggests that, unless one approach is a completely
