It's also paywalled for me, despite all the usual blocking addons. Opening in a private tab works.

I think Silicon Valley has the exact same proportion of Machiavellian executives and opportunist entrepreneurs as every other industry. The only difference is that part of the marketing of a SV company inevitably includes the claim to &quot

Didn’t a person literally get arrested for trying to publish the real numbers of deaths in Florida?

Death rate in my country has roughly doubled. This tends to ruffle some feathers.

Are you able to come out and make your point, or are you constraint to vague phrases with threatening words? Just as a tip: this is super annoying and not very clever.

I have a slow (apparently) work laptop and the web is horribly slow. Some pages feel like surfin' the pre 2000 web with all that lag and slow loading everytime anything moves. For myself, I would appreciate more such takes.

ML engineers do not realize frequently enough that many of their algorithms, as beautiful as they are, still essentially fit a conditional expectation. For example the last logit layer that undoubtedly decided to ban the op here. I always w

You are right that this is the status quo. But I do have to say that it is neither how the law works in many places, not is it ethically correct.

Well sorry but it's actually stated right here: https://opensource.org/node/1099 If you want to have a business model like Elastic, then open source is simple not right for you. This is what the OSI Board of Direc

I like this explanation, but it essentially doesn't solve the paradox. It just shifts it to knot-stability. The question is: can I create a situation which can not lead to stability? And if so, what happens? Will it simply not work? Or

Everybody is aware. And many countries did try to keep everything open while protecting old people. And it worked exactly nowhere. But once the human tragedy became apparent, once the people in charge visited one or two hospitals, once it b

Germany has a considerably larger population than the UK, and the German public broadcasters are equally terrible as the one in Austria. Good series or programs produced by public television you can count on one hand. Literally. Indeed, the

Yeah like I suggested, it seems to be a convex benefit curve. Removing the central element entirely seems to be the implication, but where does it stop? At each level, you lose the benefits of a central structure - such as coordination, su

Europeans often follow the classical definition of socialism: non private ownership of means if production. Things like so socialist market economies without state regulation thereof, for example, are theoretically conceivable. However, no

I think it’s good because I don’t even get the distinction of all these services. Around here, we have Amazon, Amazon Pantry, Amazon Now and Amazon Fresh and they all sell more or less the same things. I mean I know there must be a differen

Counterpoint: Here in Germany there is relatively little centralization. For example, the government could not implement country wide corona measures, which in the end meant that much less was accomplished compared to centralized countries

And yet there is no way to turn off tracking, because the data will be collected anyways, and will be used one way or the other eventually. As long as this is connected to a Google account, well, then that's one thing. One doesn't

I have to use Nvidia bc of Cuda, as does everyone else who does ML on Linux, which is a large majority of people doing ML. Long story short, it works. On Desktop, that is. So I an not sure how representative your opinion is. On the other ha

My point being that the reason many products end up not usable, ref. accounts in this thread, is the same reason why science isn’t solved and doing ML correctly isn’t easy.

I still have prime, and a good half of my "next day shipping" deliveries are delayed by a day, two days or even more. Granted, the current situation is problematic, but this happened even before and since you are prime, you don&#x

And yet, it might fail in actual application. If every DGP could be captured by fast-tuning a sophisticated enough model, science probably would be solved even before DL.

I mean you have to think about cause and effect here. DS will contract because many/some data scientists simply aren't good enough, and most DS just doesn't do what it is supposed too. First, like you said, there are the stra

Is rewriting your functions from notebook to a py file really something a research scientist can not do? Or is it infeasible for some other reason? I'd imagine many data scientists want to publish their work as python packages or libra

I disagree on Miele. They still produce their products in Germany. That's not something you do if you want to sell plastic knockoffs. Sure, quality may vary, but this is literally their brand identity. So I seriously doubt there is a c

The mere fact that Facebook is protesting that consumers get a choice on whether they are tracked, something that many countries have literally legislated to be a lawful right, shows that this is absolutely necessary. At that point, it matt
