I find this super interesting but unfortunately don't have enough background in Deep Learning to recognise what this would be used for. To train a model that knows how to sort stuff (probably not)? Would someone have mercy and ELI5?

C++ “move” semantics are simple, but they are still widely misunderstood. No, they aren't simple and the fact that are still widely misunderstood is basically proof of that. Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with stuffing rva

Bad company. Not (necessarily) meaning where you work but more generally the people you surround yourself with. You'll find yourself much happier in life spending energy to find good company (of people you enjoy being with) instead of

I'm not going to lie, his life story was written and presented with the precise goal in mind to make people feel this way. I stopped reading after half the article because I found it way too self-promotional. So don't feel bad abo

Thanks to Jack Altman, Max Altman, and Luke Miles for reviewing drafts of this Realising that there's a "Sam & Max" in the Altman family made me giggle :)

If people consume less of things that damage the environment, we will produce less of it and therefore damage less of it. Fish don't damage the environment. Fishing nets do, when thrown into the ocean by irresponsible fishermen. Eati

Google is like an ivy league school: the hard part is getting in. Having worked at Google myself, unfortunately this sums it up just perfectly.

Sure. Thank you for the explanation!

Ever tried "DIS optical flow" in OpenCV? Works like a charm for me even in challenging conditions.

There's barely anything more frustrating than a fascinating discussion on HN and then folks start kicking around lingo and acronyms that you can't even Google because they could mean a million things. So please, have mercy and cur

This fits perfectly into the narrative of yesterday's discussion on HN [1]. Deep Neural Nets are somewhat of a brute force approach to machine learning. Training efficiency is horrible as compared with other ML approaches, but hey, as

Forget platforms, the real prize is making the form factor comfortable enough for side sleepers and making the battery last 8+ hours (duration of a good nights sleep). The number of people on the planet with bedroom noise problems is vastly

From 1st hand experience let me add IT: Your app can magically talk to servers on the internet from behind my Firewall without my IT being capable to whitelist respective servers.

On long distance flights I always use the following hack in economy: I take the armrest separating me from my neighbor and tilt it almost fully up, so it forms about a 15 deg angle with the seat back. Now it's a headrest! Then I take t

I completely agree with the the theory, however what 90% or more of us do when they finish university is to go work for an established (i.e. large) company, where winning means hacking bad tests (promotion cycles). So in some perverse sense

Thanks. That answers the bandwidth question. How about the other two?

What does the 1GB / 50 GB / 500 GB mean? Is that referring to storage capacity or bandwidth? What if I use IMGZ to offload all the bandwidth-guzzling high-res images of my highly frequented website? Will IMGZ just serve up the ima

I can relate to this 100%. The funny thing is though, I actually like it when friends give me candid unsolicited advice -- of course as long as it's communicated respectfully and not in a condescending manner. I take it as a sign tha

Not sure about 3-5 years but within the next 10 years we'll likely have 3D sensors that can see 100s of meters in daylight, resolve to sub-centimetres at megapixel resolutions with 30+ fps. At the price and form factor of an entry-leve

Paul Graham actually wrote about this in 2003: http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html Adults can't avoid seeing that teenage kids are tormented. So why don't they do something about it? Because they blame it on pub

Ok, so an "amplitude" is just like a PDF, only that it can also take on negative values and that adding "amplitudes" is a meaningful operation?

To all the oh-so-smart downvoters: The translation is wrong because it makes things unnecessarily complicated. The term Vorführeffekt is used when something suddenly behaves differently in a not desired way when shown to others. The argumen

Ok, but that doesn't make the translation any better. It's still wrong.
