What's concerning is if FB could potentially target users based upon interests/variety of other user data to "introduce" these types of "bugs". Not trying to start a conspiracy, but given the data and reach FB

I think for a good majority of people especially in America will go along the lines of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" for gas cars. Regardless, I think Ghost Locomotion and Comma.ai have a lot of potential for what th

Similarly for math: When learning calc, websites from universities that were written in basic HTML with some latex/examples or on some pdf were far better than anything else. There are also some good YT videos where they do the problem

Stuff like their TPU and Waymo's Honeycomb Laserbear (something along those lines... their lidar naming system is pretty long) shows that Google is making good products for a limited reach of people. TPU? Seems like it has a lot of pot

Oops, didn't catch that. For some reason I thought it was a orchestration engine like Stripe's Railyard.

Did they say they were building their own training hardware? I thought it was just their inference hardware (the boards on the teslas)?

As a small anecdote, my parents couldn't afford/didn't want to spent over $30k for a car. Surely we could've gotten a Tesla for $5k+ more, but given the relatively new infrastructure with electric charging stations (and

Thanks Tim! Would love to apply, but still a student. Hoping to join in the future given how nicely orchestrated your team has been training nets.

Really liked this talk. Looks like they are really nicely orchestrating workloads and training on numerous nets asynchronously. As a person in the AV industry I think Tesla's ability to control the entire stack is great for Tesla... ma

This brings up a good point: If you remove likes, now Instagram can truly manipulate your feeds in any way they want (obviously if you want to scroll through how many people liked posts, that's one way to get around it, but very labori

I got an Instagram account in 8th grade after seeing pretty much every single one in my middle school already had one (which was 3-4 years ago). I left 1-2 years into using it as I was realizing how detrimental it was to see so many people

TLDR: Most of the time C++ with GCC was best.

Is Cardboard still being used? After the death of Daydream, I'm assuming Google is pretty much entirely out of VR at this point... although I may be completely wrong.

Same here. That's why I got their mini USB C key so it's barely noticeable. Solokey is also pretty good.

Regardless of how many developers have "improperly accessed user data", you can do a lot of stuff as a regular person such as tracking how long all your friends sleep: https://github.com/sqren/fb-sleep-stats

Yeah I know how DCA works. Just wondering on what platform you're doing it on.

How do you DCA?

1ronyman said just today that he isn't going to pay RH anything. They haven't forced him to do so at all. He went from $250,000 to $50,000 in debt and as I said, isn't going to pay anything (as far as I know).

Only reason (as a college student) don’t like ISAs is because they take up to something as ridiculous as 10 million over a 10 year period (if you do happen to make that much). I think ISAs may find a place for a greater majority of America

That's a reasonable reason for my data to be on their servers. However, what validates that they actually do it?

Regardless of company, I don't want them to keep any "backups" of what I delete. In my view, if I say I want to "delete" my account, I don't want a single trace of my existence on that platform from then on. No

by sdan 7y ago
Only flaw I see with this and stuff like FB saying they "deleted" your account is: "It's deleted" is (or could be) another term for "You can't see it anymore, but it's there somewhere" Haven&#x27

In either case, have you ever seen a kid running around? I mean obviously I know from experience and being a kid at one point that apartment complexes are overly infested with kids running around, but pretty sure given the year and parentin

I live in Cupertino, near Apple HQ. Obviously you can walk around but I rarely see anyone do... and I generally have never seen kids unattended around here (living here for 17 years).

This is true to an extent. But at the same time the argument is kind of flawed: can kids safely walk around their neighborhoods nowadays? At least where I lived, the city was nice but there were too many cars and it was unusual to see anyon
