When you are working for yourself, practicing, or studying, you always get to take the path of least resistance to some extent, because you get to pick some portion of what you want to do, what challenges to solve vs which to go around, wha

I worked at a place where the org structure had been heavily influenced by software architects. And I found that there was way too much of a "this team will come in at this point to do this" kind of coordination assumed in the org

I think even if Twitter made it easier to tag posts as political, the problem remains that so many people feel like their political views belong everywhere, and will actively try and break into other discussions to interject with politics.

I have no problem paying for recurring usage costs. For example I have a paid vps and paid email. But in my mind I'm paying precisely for the compute, storage, and network infrastructure behind them, not paying, e.g. to run linux. And

Yeah, I feel like paying a subscription to keep using software just feels like a rip off, even if it's actually a fair price, and am much less inclined to sign up for it.

I'm coming around to the idea that Google (and Facebook etc) need to be called out and held accountable for the "negative externalities" that come with their business model, the same as if a company was polluting the physical

Yeah this is one of those articles that reminds me that we almost certainly have no idea what is going on. Not to say we dont have good descriptive models.

If WFH becomes more of a norm, I can imagine facilities / office budgets being re-purposed towards more travel for offsites, visits, and other activities to stay better connected. Work from home doesn't necessarily mean never seei

I agree you can find flaws in the analogy, but my main point is that there is a difference between how things are designed for "consumers" vs professionals. The electrician in your example sees the world and their options for fixi

I used to work in residential construction, and have done pretty much everything from foundations to electrical to roofing. And so generally, if something needs to be done on my house, even relatively major stuff, I do it, or I could if I w

Mostly just thinking out loud You may be right- it's very hard to imagine that normal people really wanted to be exposed to that kind of downside. But also it reminds me of the kind of articles you see from time to time where someone b

I'd say more generally, it's about control and having something police / government can hold over almost anyone, or any demographic, if convenient for whatever reason. That is the danger of these kinds of laws, they are a sho

My feeling is that even inception trained on imagenet with a different random initialization would probably not fail (or at least be much less likely to fail) when exposed to these adversarial examples. If these are hacking the specific, un

We compare what we see against our internal model of the world, a CNN pattern matches, it doesn't think critically about the result that comes out.

There are incubators that pair technical and nontechnical founders, or provide advice to technical founders about marketing etc. You may want to consider something like that, where you can meet and evaluate people in a more structured way.

I've been just casually browsing this discussion, but your comment stands out as an example of the kind of mental gymnastics people are playing to try and justify something so obviously wasteful. As was pointed out upstream, capital an

Two thoughts from your comment: 1. Agree on the edge cases, to do real driving we'll need AGI or some whole new way of looking at it, its not possible algorithmically. But, I would pessimisticly draw on other examples of how tech handl

Yes! I've made a similar observation that politicians have abdicated their responsibility for decision making in many policy matters. And that good politicians are really all that keeps us from some sort of creepy technocracy where we

I often wonder about if I had joined the Army. I'm in my early 40s, I know a few people my age who are retired from service, have a great pension built up, great leadership experience, and generally are ahead of me career wise. There a

Collab is awesome. It's not really for any serious training, it's for evaluating and sharing ML models that (may) need a GPU, and learning. But for many situations, it replaces the need to have a laptop with a GPU - it's good

A 3 layer convnet probably isnt the last word in whether the M1 is better for "deep learning". Something nontrivial where the gpu/processor is maxed out would be a more interesting comparison, even one of the pytorch vision t

The more I think about this, the more inclined I am to see this kind of article as a kind of "fake news" that is deliberately (or with willful negligence) misrepresenting facts. I need to be clear that I don't believe in cens

If you get drawn into a debate about whether the earth is flat, you're the sucker and are being made fun of by the person "debating" you. And retorting that "the science is settled" would be a ridiculous response. I

I would add that deep skills, especially when expressed in years of experience, are often indicative of having worked in a bubble, and may not even generalize to other applications of the same tech. Cases where someone has actually gotten p
