These hashes also reveal domain names. Most users visit many URLs on a small set of domains. If a user requests 1000 hashes that all can map to Reddit, it's very likely that the user is indeed reading Reddit. Another…
If you are a VC and want to fund a biotech startup, something in this promising crispr field, it makes more sense to invest into 100 ex-bigpharma-scientists, than into some smooth talkers that wear nice suits. The ideal…
I think a union is a different structure than LLC and plays by different rules. Regardless, the first step should be talking to a proper attorney who can explain what requirements need to be met to make this…
What I meant is these corps really want to increase the workforce and then cut the salaries, but at the same time they want to profit from dumb users who are easy to rip off. But the corps can't get both.
The way you said it - "join a union" - made me think that unions may be a good idea in software if anyone can join and leave any time. This would be like insurance that funds a big nonprofit with very motivated (and…
Heh, that's a possibility, actually. Govs like how software and personal phones enable global surveillance, but they don't like the power that general computing devices give (all these encryption protocols, bitcoins and…
And ipfs is really just a combo of the two concepts: files and folders wrapped into a git-like tree of hashes; and all that tree-hash-files-folders structure is being synced over a torrent-like protocol.
We'd call this karma, I think. On the one hand these big corps create siloed software environments that not only take all control away from users, but also remove the necessity to think. From their pov, users are as…
CA owes its progress to the laws that ban non-compete agreements. IIRC, the anti gun laws were enacted to prevent black people from getting any real power in the era when segregation existed.
I don't see how being for progress makes one against white straight maleness. I'm a very technical person and all for progress, but I also see political correctness as a religion from medieval ages.
What do you mean by "productive"?
So 250k per year in stocks + up to 200k in salary + 40k annual bonus. 500k total. That's a really solid result for someone with 10yoe in the big tech companies, top performer. Solid, but nothing to shout about.
I can't open this link for some reason (uBO?), but the title reminds me one very clever Wolfram's article where he brags about (as usual) about how he derived GTR equations from his graph model. That article had a bunch…
Grounding airplanes looks a lot like chopping off your own fingers because losing weight in a more systematic way is hard.
1M per year?
Every year money lose value due to inflation. If we assume 10%/year returns on average, the tricky vesting schedule saves the company 10%. On top of that, a big company deals with statistics, not individual employees:…
This graph is a high level abstraction, of course. How exactly neurons store information is interesting, but hardly relevant here. My guess is that one symbol is stored in a very sparse subset of neurons and each neuron…
Sounds interesting, but didn't work for me: it got stuck on the "bots are busy assembling the game". There is no indicator of progress, no errors, no logs. It's a good idea to add a feedback button that would upload…
I think intelligence isn't involved in riding a bike. Understanding the theory about riding a bike is a different story, and that understanding is a knowledge graph.
Why not? It's true that the word "space" has different meanings when in appears in a math book, CS book or astronomy book. But we just have 3 different word2vec models. When I read something about math, I pick the math…
Of course symbolic AI is the way to go. We communicate with text messages that consist of words that we internally convert to word2vec style vectors to detect similar words. One more thing we do in our heads: we build a…
Except that these questions are asked by SWEs who don't like these questions and don't support this idea in general. So there is a interview where one SWE asks another SWE a bunch of behavioral questions, takes notes,…
Legit links need quite a bit of research, like reading a 700 pages book only to realise that it consists on references to older more authoritative and much bigger books written a couple centuries earlier. These…
I think this is like making an observation that a serious runner has bigger leg muscles. That's a correct observation, albeit useless.
IMHO, you're making the common mistake thinking that meditation is about sitting still and thinking about nothing, or lazily observing your thoughts. Meditation has one specific goal: training to focus your mind.…
