I admit I stopped reading halfway through, but managed to scroll to the last paragraph. This article is a dance through many important topics in a AV. Yet, it fails to actually answer the "Why collision avoidance is harder fo an AI-bas

This is what I like about Rust and Rust's traits. You write a generic and specify the properties of the generic type parameter, for example that it must implement another trait or something.

Looking at the table of contents, it is a subset of PRML [Bishop 2006]. And I suppose it is more than 10% PRML. And the things contained in PRML but not in the monograph are still relevant I'd say (Kalman filters, ...). [Bishop 2006]

Deep learning has shown to have obliterated much of the computer vision area and other examples where classical approaches such as feature engineering are naturally hard. This comes at a price of a massive hunger for data of Deep Learning m

yes and no. Of course it is absurd to claim you don't need math. On the other hand, I think it is sometimes exaggerated. You'll see this tutorials, that are thorough linear algebra primers and claim that you need it for ML, when i

> This makes a good case for not learning machine learning three years ago. Have you looked at the monograph at all? This could have been written 5 to 10 years ago, 15 years ago, maybe a few sections would have looked a little different.

okay, I dug up my amazon review again. It was "Functional Differential Geometry" and my main complaint was, that they claim to replace a fuzzy mathematical notation with a Scheme DSL which would make things more clear. In the end,

I had ordered one of those books (don't really remember which of them), and it is to this day the only book I sent back to amazon for a refund.

Valid points. Still most of them are not issues in my daily work. And by the way Peter, thank you for the amazing work you do.

Docker containers and virtual envs are in some way both capsules that can serve a similar purpose. virtual envs are in general more lightweight, but limited to the Python world, whereas Docker containers are heavier, but enable you to also

Anaconda was the competition pip needed to become good. When Anaconda was introduced, I (a pip person), was impressed. However, at work we had pip workflows that were working okayish, so I never made the switch. Today, pip et. al. has so dr

As if that still was a problem, now that we have wheels, and especially manylinux wheels.

Don't forget that usually you'll start to sort your requirements into dev requirements and production requirements which makes these packaging scripts much more complicated. https://github.com/jazzband/pip-too

let me add, that if you do a virtualenv-based workflow, you will end up having some kind of a requirements list (requirements.txt), then you will realize that you want to also version the configuration of that virtualenv with all dependenci

I remember, on my laptop with pycharm and docker (and the virtual machine docker lived in), the RAM usage was just excessive. I am by no means a minimalist, but data-science stuff was barely impossible with 16 GB RAM. Also, I strongly disli

This might be indeed true for deep learning in its current shape. However, in the long run I think we will see more models that (1) are more composable and (2) better approaches to engineering such models, however, these, engineered models

This is maybe more hearsay, I only briefly tried to use Julia. It is true, Julia has great features for performant code. It is, however, focussing too much on being a matlab competitor in my opinion. It will not be a language that you use t

My personal experience is: After spending time outdoors, get a shower and a complete clothes change. They often don't bite right away but crawl around for some time until they find a spot they "like". Also, the lore that was

I don't know if I would understand the German "insurance" system from that explanation. Maybe to complement your explanation another try at it: Germany has two insurance-like systems to pay for medical treatments: (1) insuran

I wonder whether one could show this. maybe by pretending the image is actually a cell in a periodic grid, then transform this grid, and rotate this grid. The periodicity would make roation possible without getting empty spots.

An optical lense is essentially transforming the image into fourier space and back again. The radius of the lense (approx) is a limit to the spacial-frequencies, i.e. some frequencies are clipped off. In the image plane, the signal has been

I picked up ClojureScript at the end of 2013. I was a C++ developer then in a small firm and was tasked to write a web frontend. Outsourcing that project had failed before (2 times iirc), so my boss bet on me to do it. I knew HTML and had w
