This talk between Lars Bak (creator of V8) and Eric Meijer from 2009 is really good. It covers the same material as the article, with a little be more depth. https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Expert-to-Exp

Sort of. I didn't read the whole exchange, but to me the thing to say would be to be a bit more explicit that the tool will always reflect the bias of it's owners. Hopefully phrased to sound less Marxist, but something along those

There is really no way to know or to say with logical justication that a data set, or the deep learning model that results from it, is free from bias. That's the issue at hand. The social dimension of the application must be discusse

My curiosity was most satisfied by Kip Thorne's lectures [0][1] on the physics of the detector itself and how they formed a strategy to build such a sensitive instrument. [0] https://youtu.be/mGdbI24FvXQ [1] https:&#x

Mesmerising. Our own star, up close. Feels like we would learn a lot about other stars and planets by studying sun.

We should compare the lives lost in this failed attack to the lives that were lost in the continuing practice of slavery. Yes it was illegal and disruptive, but the status quo, while legal and banal, resulted in the death of slaves at a muc

There is also an argument here against multi-factor authentication. If compromised first the second channel makes the system more vulnerable.

Europe and NA lead the world in solid state physics, and this is where real computing power for the future comes from. Europe and North America should continue to invest heavily in basic research and create incentives for science that can b

Haters gonna hate. Every retailer has a store brand. Why is it a public good that I have to pay a premium price for a cable from a pre-approved seller? Why should anyone selling on Amazon think that they have an exclusive relationship with

I think the highlight of this story is seeing the open source workflow. She found a bug in the source code of the window manager; she was able to isolate it and make a meaningful report to the community/maintainers; and they fixed it q

With its well defined AST, I think Go can "easily" accommodate optimizations as described, but obviously at the expense of compililation time. And I gotta tell you that keeping compile times down is the more important optimization

It's really too bad that Over The River was never finished. I always like the idea a lot, and would have gone out there to see it. Anyway he and jean-claude moved on and did other pretty great things.
