Another voice in the fray, I also did well enough to bypass the technical screen. Interviewed with four companies they recommended. Picked one. Still with them two(-ish) years later and an outspoken advocate. It's a…
For what kind of tagging are you looking? Per-image labels? Single-tag-per-image? Image rectangles? Most of the tagging programs I've encountered really aren't that awesome. For such a relatively common task (for ML, at…
How many people do you have on your ml team so far? I'm doing ML research (NLP for determining writing quality and similarity, amusingly) for my company and it's getting a bit lonely.
Perhaps they were fixed as part of unrelated bug fixes? That would explain why they didn't credit anyone as having reported them. Something like, "Fixed bad return value leak," or "refactoring old method" could break…
Forgive my ignorance, but it seems like this is just attempting to take advantage of the optimization done by LLVM, yes? What I would love is a simple way of writing standalone functions that compile into a…
I'm a current WebPass subscriber and I'm dreading the move to another ISP when I change apartments. May I inquire what it takes to set up and maintain the transmitter?
People buckle because they are victims of NEEDS. If I didn't have marketable skills, or if I existed in a market which was oversaturated with people as skilled as myself, sure, I could argue with my boss or exercise my…
This looks exceptionally helpful. I have around 50 tabs open, nominally, and my CPU fan is almost perpetually on high for it. Just before installing it, however, I found myself wondering, "Why am I using an app which…
From you description, you do sound kinda' like a bot. Disabled cookies. Disabled Javascript. Irregular searches. I understand the frustration with saying, "You have to have these features supported to use the product,"…
They might not, but that doesn't mean we should make concessions to them. I agree that it's important to consider the practical aspects of a law's use, but we shouldn't avoid making laws because some groups will ignore…
Not just the title, but the article itself. "New research, using ultrasound, has developed an invisible 3D haptic shape that can be seen and felt."
I'm not sure I follow. The same reasoning kinda' applies now: I can work more than 40 hours per week to look like a better applicant, but this becomes both counterproductive and untenable at a certain point. (There are…
Nothing special. The authors have implemented a machine learning algorithm using a quantum instruction set. DWave has had open-source implementations of some machine learning algorithms for a while. This is not exactly…
I don't know if I'd be able to maintain my calm in those situations, but yes, even when someone is treating you like shit, we have an obligation as humans to be decent to other people. Not excellent, mind you, just…
What is your data type for inputHash and images.phash? ByteArray? Character array? Blob?
I'm not sure if I value my confidentiality more than the unlimited talk/data/text plan on which I'm grandfathered. It's a hard change to make, especially considering I no longer see the tracking data after I disabled it…
I just finished writing about distance hashing functions with a slightly different angle. I visualized the distances between a bunch of images using two different techniques, one of which was pHash (discussed in the…
This makes me rather unhappy. I'm seeing this on Verizon. Can someone with an alternative mobile provider like Sprint or T-Mobile test this, too?
I certainly agree that startups over-promise in the beginning, but they need to be very explicit and very clear as far as human safety is concerned. I work (up until the end of the day today) for a medical startup. We…
Short answer: Python and R for academic. Java or C++ for production. Julia has some followers, LUA has a Deep Learning Implementation. Python+CUDA+C++ is very common in deep learning. --- Chiming in as a machine…
Oh! Oooh! I see what you're saying. I thought you were asserting the mean _UNCORRECTED_ vision of an American Adult was 20/20. It's certainly much more plausible that the corrected vision is beyond 20/20. I would…
Thank you. I think I see where you're coming from. That article has some interesting phrasing which I think is causing confusion. (For me at least.) It looks like they're using 'normal' to mean 'average in the range'…
Could I impose for a citation for this? A quick check indicates that in the industrialized world, between 50% and 70% of individuals require corrective lenses.[1][2] That seems to indicate that the _average_ human does…
How is this different from the heretofore prolific Word2Vec? I see they mention it but don't provide information about how it is distinct from their approach. EDIT: My fault. I was only reading through the site instead…
There's also an issue of anonymity and trust. There are plenty of websites from which I'd like to make purchases (some of an unflattering disposition) that may continue to bill after cancellation requests (because they…
