In a way, it's even better than credit card: You can not set a limit - except contractually, but you can enforce it. You can do the charge-back yourself (via the Bank's website) within like 6 or 9 months of the transaction. This w

Today I learned that for most people, even on HN, headphones means earbuds. All wireless earbuds I have ever used, including Apple Airpods Pro, sucked. Fit, charging stability, not randomly breaking, sound, you name it. By contrast, I have

I should have been more clear. Google is settling this case because it matters, and because it does not want to have a public court judgment on the matter of data usage.

It is mentioned in the article, but Google lost an appeal in the EU recently, related to ranking of its price search engine. But one wonders whether that's really such a big deal for Google. An interesting detail instead arises from th

Much of today's internet culture is directly on indirectly influenced by SA to some degree. Beyond this, however, SA remains a unique community, perhaps even more so today. It is quite large compared to specialist boards, but it is ins

If you read the article further it morphs from "you gotta have a better time series tool bro" to an article about "if you don't know what adverse selection is, no amount of highly-paid machine learning engineers will hel

I will have to deal with this question soon. I am, at this point, really unsure about how to handle it. I do not want to artificially limit my kid to technologies that are no longer really relevant, but I do agree that safeguarding attentio

I can report from another bank (in the top 10 globally), that recently moved from a more bespoke system (not even on Python) to having Python+Notebooks+Labs available to all - using Apache products and a global Anaconda-like Python distribu

The collusion may the main point of the article, but the other actions really paint a horrific picture. This is a company which had (sometime in the past) a "Don't be evil" in their statutes. By contrast, the collection of mi

Like I said, this is a point where the EU and the United States differ. In several countries of the EU, if not all, you have the right to decide whether anyone takes picture material of you, and how it is used. This, of course, includes vid

Of course. FB openly ignores the GDPR and will be happy to pay a fine if the EU manages to ever show enough courage to levy one of significance. Facebook trains its models on your data, in particular your pictures and (in the future) your v

I suggest everyone to carefully read the replies of the Facebook employees in this thread. These data are being released in hopes of furthering the developments of these techniques - which ultimately benefits a future use by Facebook. In tu

I think op means that a graph is not sufficient to describe a NN. If a layer is Y=XB, then you draw that as set of nodes Y and individual weight b_ij as edge-weights from X. Right. But can you describe things like concat, max-pooling, atten

I think what op means is this: A graph is mathematically a set of vertices (nodes) and a set of ordered or unordered tuples giving the edges (ties). Now, sometimes you might have a weight on these edges, for example by specifying some funct

To answer your question, yes, it is more of a conflict of interest. A journalist is tasked with writing truthful articles that do not mislead the public. This holds at least for those who portray themselves as such (e.g., by making argument

I am really not breaking new ground when I say that the "modern API" is entirely neutered. It has been discussed here at length. It is so neutered, that literally no one uses it except where it is mandatory. And here is the real

True, there are more people in a mall, and you don’t need a long time to move through piece by piece…. as you need for the train. What if the train stops? This can be done by any personell quickly. Doors and windows of trains can be opened

People have tried these kind of things, but there truly are better targets than trains. Even a bomb will accomplish relatively little, the station being a better target.

Pros and Cons. Consider ICE, the German equivalent to the TGV. Germany is not centralized, so you find ICE connections all over the place. But few are as good or as high speed on the whole track as the ones coming out of Paris. Here, centra

You pay these people for their PhD level knowledge of math and stats, because that is a sparse skill: No matter how many Coursera courses one does, you can not upskill anyone to that level (at least, I have never seen it). So, if their time
