Couple weeks ago I was part of a discussion what to use for some new project that will require a pile of GPUs like a LARGE pile of them. There was one guy who actually seriously suggested Google offering. Idea got dropped as EVERY other per

It is quite incredible just how clueless we are about human biology, cancer and related things on the fundamental level. Like a bunch of cavemen staring sky and imagining a bear and wondering why some light move around unlike others.

It depends, but yes it is not free. It is however quite cheap if you have a full car. So for example anyone going for weekend with family, highway is cheap and is MUCH faster then normal roads. Japan also has a developed highway rest areas,

I think that is a bit of a trope if somewhat true one. Thing is that Toyota and all of the other Japanese car companies are invested in self driving and have been pumping money and buying/investing/contracting every ML related sho

Bow is a massive leap over those tools as is a sling. Laser cutter, or laptop are tool as well and you can probably teach Chimpanzee to use both to some degree.

Humans had bow and arrow, sling, spear thrower. Which is might as well be satellite in orbit when compared to tech of any animal we know off.

Living currently in Japan in somewhat rural area, lots of fruit growing around. I am not sure why but there are A LOT of hawks and other birds of prey around. I am guessing they are doing decent job controlling bird population. Other then t

100k? maybe 5-6 years ago, it is not the case anymore at all. I dont what the max is but 140-150 is no that unusual(for senior people obviously)

Because that is one of the talking points of the Russian propaganda. Oh it is a fantastic novel, great novel but all fantasy. It is the best at describing what USSR really was, lots of useful fools/tools in the West always had problem

I went to school in Canada, frats are not big here. Said prof I mentioned had this thing where he would give basically identical test to test in lets say 4 years ago. But there would be couple tiny changes, like index of summation using j i

Do you not know all cultures are same? To Re-education camp with you. Being a TA for undergrad courses this pattern is very common. Other group that consistently gets caught was guys from ME. East Europeans cheat but they almost always put

Well Apple is fucked, US enters depression. China economy collapses utterly. Xi does not live too long before he either enacts Stalin/Mao level purges or gets shot himself.

Actually it is quite easy, cost of doing business in such cultures is much higher as you can not really trust anything and must guard against a knife in the back at any moment. There is a huge amount of friction that eliminates if counterpa

Any details as to what ML was used for that you can disclose? OCRing the scanned documents I assume?

Different areas of manufacturing for example. All that computer vision, now apply it to X-rays of metal parts used to try and detect failures(not it is a guy looking at them all day using a dozen primitive filters, 8 hours a day every day).

I would argue that we might be in a Research bubble(who knows.. I don't have a clue) but we are definitely not in "using the ML for practical problems bubble". Amount of industries and businesses that can benefit not from the

Clearly they can keep things secret unlike NSA and co. Whole article is random guesses, names of building and not much of anything else, that is kind of impressive. In fact the only real stuff is from a power point shared with NSA..

It is not really hostility to women, but hostility to humans. 10 am -9pm every day often followed by drinking with coworkers.. till last train. vs raising kids. I know what I would choose.

Statistically he is correct. The "good" part it is common to have a miscarriage and then multiple healthy children. Unfortunately people do not talk enough about miscarriage and many hide them, creating impression that it is not a

You hire wrong grey hairs, most new people never shipped anything. Person with 10-20 years experience probably shipped a TON of stuff. This is the key thing to look when hiring, people who shipped things and like to ship things. On other ha

Really? Ship an app to the store that crashes all the time and see your metrics go WAY down. Loosing user data is another great way to lose users permanently. Sure if you are Google of FB it probably does not matter but for smaller companie

This is why I am not putting anything into my kids "savings". They are not their saving they are mine. Period. If for tax reason I have to do it I will never tell them about it. Of course he should have used that money, it was his

This is incredibly true, even with crappy old algorithms you can do A LOT if you have great data. Recent experience with a company that is building some models based on.. few guys recording few hours of audio and annotating it. I still can&

I will agree, to be honest I tried promises in my own projects and now writing them for someone. But to me Async.js is just cleaner nicer better. Funniest part is Bluebird docs on transitioning from it to Promises, promise example is bigger

Huge problem in China is that unlike Japan it is not a uniform country. Income is VERY unevenly distributed geographically. Japan can stay in zombie state because even in stagnation it is pretty nice place to live for most people. The poor
