Forgive me, but that seems like an excessively pedantic outright dismissal of what I am seeing to be the presentation of interesting results in the field. Whatever you want to call it—deep learning, multilayer nnets, whatever—it’s the same

Same here! There are plenty of people I would happily give a one time donation to, but signing up on Patroen or giving up details beyond my email address are too big of a step. I’d even settle for a Venmo address.

Remember the commands, not remember how to look up the commands ;)

Sure, but that doesn’t change the point I don’t think. By and large, regardless of the existence of what you’re saying, GUIs lead to greater discoverability.

Reoccurring cancer could also be an explanation for taking the step of getting rid of your digital lifelines and walking down the Appalachian Trail.

That's not correct, they have a US presence and sell in the US. You can't be judgment proof just by headquartering in another country, any US assets can be seized to cover judgment amount. Take the judgment to the sheriff and they

Most likely. And in any case, most small claims courts don't allow the representation by counsel, and as such they're more lenient about complaints submitted. File, serve Team Viewer, show up on day of, collect default judgment or

It's some trouble, but a quick filing in your local small claims court for the $700 would be an interesting way to get your money back and see how it plays out.

Hi I believe you may have more luck in the Who Wants to be Hired thread, perhaps where you meant to post it

Indeed. We went from a world where nothing was recorded outside of very fallible memory, to one where everything is recorded, to perhaps one where even though everything is recorded, there’s enough deniability via deep fakes that it doesn’t

My total off the cuff not marketing person take on your last sentence is that if you have to explain your product one on one to people who can't easily understand your site, maybe you should consider rewriting the site. Again though I&

I'm curious of what one would speculate would be the effect of Apple and Google and Microsoft just not observing daylight savings time. All computers and phones with operating systems just don't change times in accordance with DST

You don't get to be the arbiter of who is "actually offended." I agree that there are people who take any amount of power and want to expert it for the wrong reasons, but that isn't an indictment against CoCs, it's

I think you're saying that people who harass should be able to be removed absent a code of conduct. I agree. However, harassment isn't always the overt act you may be picturing, it can be more subtle. Code of Conducts give a singl

Via industry I "run" a professor at a top university to direct their research (like partnership I think), on the advice of the board. In exchange I fund many of their students and the professor themself gets a sweet consulting gig

This comes up occasionally. I don't find it to be particularly helpful, even though I do think betterexplained has been a strong source of gaining intuition into various subjects. Recognizing though that method of understanding somethi

I've never watched Twitch, but seems like an historic moment for a sitting congressperson to be livestreaming gameplay on Twitch. For that fact along, worth watching I believe.

Thanks, sorry to feed the troll. Would you delete my comment to the troll below please.

A lot of drama here that seems to spill out into real life. Two opposing sides. But, they're largely on the same side it seems like. One seems to have made a mistake in submitting her article unknowingly to a blog that doesn't acc

Pretty reasonable thoughts here I think! It's true that being at a company where everything is abstracted from you makes it hard to step out on your own where things aren't abstracted and you have to do all the dirty work yourself

I think there is a pretty big line on the spectrum of "lying and fabricating," from reading/erasing a name on a report and lying about it to maintain anonymity (not morally blameworthy to an extent that the person shouldn&#x2

by notsuoh 6y ago
Yeah that's right. I think we'd need more information to do anything more than speculate at this point. Going further, I feel like fabricating a police report to some degree comes with a presumption of moral blameworthiness. That

Hmm I don't know, some protection exists per NY law according to the article. On one hand it doesn't sound like FC waited for the report to be authenticated, on the other hand who knows if London Police would ever do that, I don&#

Oh yeah fair enough, I'll edit. VC did admit to being arrested by London Police according to the account, but who knows why they were arrested.

by notsuoh 6y ago
Looks like Peahivar admitted to at least the arrest. Unclear if the arrest was for something totally different than the fabricated report states, or something very similar. And who knows why the report was fabricated, though I don't th

What a ride. Also this is from 2019. Basically in 2017 a confidential source CS told the editor for Fast Company FC that some random investor Shervin Pishevar VC was arrested by London police in May 2017 for suspicion of sexual assault. VC

Sure, I'm aware of this and have been flown in to various locales to be grilled in interviews that started before it was really light out and finished after dusk (late in the year to be fair). My point isn't that companies do this

This is definitely satire. It took me until the "interviews must be six hours" before I realized it. Well done.
