Damn well that's something interesting to learn. Have an upvote.

Having been in and out of Sydney a lot, I find this very easy to believe. The airport is straining at the limit for capacity, so they have been quite adventurous in getting planes in and out of there for some time. Particularly with the cur

Well done, this is an area that could use more declarative information and less guesswork. I think there's another question that also needs answering: how do I make myself _want_ to be a manager? A lot of times, the incentives tell the

paywalled? This seems interesting, though. Does the plant just become a stranded asset or is there still a way to get returns out of it?

They're designed to appear that way, it doesn't mean they actually are imagining anything. We need to be very careful about accidental anthropomorphism when it comes to models 0 seeing an analogy between the output in front of you

Deep Learning doesn't necessarily require a huge amount of data. What DL does is allow you to fit more complex relationships between input and output than would be the case with, say, a bog standard linear model. If a relationship is c

I dunno dude, Lenin absolutely hated Stalin so maybe he's not an impartial character witness. I've made my point - OP is obviously wrong and so are you - so that's all from me.

Stalin was weak? Mao? This sounds like a very odd definition of weak, cut to fit the argument rather than working with the facts at hand. Both won wars and ruled over hundreds of millions or even billions. They can't be brushed away, n

What are the circumstances in which someone would be doing something like this?

Counterpoint: strong men were responsible for both world wars, and in fact every war ever. Hundreds of millions dead, two sincere attempts at self-extermination by the human race. Good times.

That headline, as a sweeping statement about society, is crap. The idea that people are becoming lazier programmers because they can, however, seems intuitively obvious. But that's kind of the idea - increasing productivity inevitably

I'm in a country that has seen the land mass of Indonesia (population: approx. 240 million), burn off in the last month or so. I'm not sure where you are (somewhere colder?), but it's real and happening now and there's n

You're both kind of right, just that there's a difference between the current account (trade) and capital account (cross-border investment flows). In the current account you're just looking at the value of goods and services

What does the level of performance indicated here likely mean in terms of the efficiency of, say, a thermal energy plant of some description? How far is the needle shifted for an end user?

It's not obvious to me, unfortunately - what exactly is being obfuscated here, the source code?

Any time the CLI options stop you from doing something that is possible in the library itself, this goes out the window. That's why my friend and I wrote a pybind11 wrapper for tesseract. We could probably do something similar here, an

This is quite helpful, thanks. What would prompt someone to go this way, I wonder? There are some pretty minimal OS options out there these days.

It's amazing how Dune is becoming more and more relevant. Not because of any dystopia thing, but because the fundamental issues it talks about (unstable power systems, ecology and power, the right to sovereignty) are becoming more and

Sure, but this is hacker news. Talking about "I figured out how to do something" is core business :) Even if it doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense to do it in practice.

The title reminds me a lot of all those fatuous articles about the difference between statistics and machine learning. This one is alright though - I wonder how we got to lumping CI and CD together as is commonplace now.

wishfully, I read this as a "Book on the Culture". Does anyone know of such a thing, aside from the actual Iain M Banks novels?

Thank you for posting this, I'm thankful for people who remind us to be thankful for what we've got. This includes the protestors in Hong Kong reminding my countrymen of the value of democracy. Five demands, not one less.

Are we talking about PIMCO Bill Gross here? If so, how did he wind up doing this?

That's kind of what we already have though, given that these things are often trained by playing against themselves these days
