Generalization is standard lingo in machine learning – it's about going from known data (training set / test set) to new data which shares the same underlying patterns but wasn't available at learning time. Taking the…
Did you read the article ? They were severely understaffed, and essentially were forced to do a half-assed job because of a storm. Reading the article, it feels as if they didn't even know if the explosives were going…
Fun fact: my (french) company audited the french navy and found out they share important nuclear submarine maintenance data as excel files through email.
I have to confirm this as a nerdy french person: I don't like sports and it always felt awkward because it's not something I enjoy, people keep asking for it and it makes me uncomfortable. I tried hard to fit in though:…
To be very honest I'm tempted to downvote this , not because I would disagree if this was the topic at hand, but because it seems like a deranged rant that's very loosely related to the comment it's replying.
That's a great catch ! Thanks for this. For anyone wondering, 25 years is pretty common as a baseline for PV [1] but a good amount of them should be able to go for longer, say at least 30 years. As a comparison, the…
More details: You need practicing, so you need experiments/computers/supplies/projects — this is true both in engineering and art school, any time you do anything that's not completely pen and paper. You also need to…
I'm using french costs, these are paid 90% by the government ! The underlying issue does not disappear.
I've got a weird relationship with market socialists because I generally think they're much more sensible and convincing than the average "destroy evil and create utopia" socialists, but ultimately it's hard to…
My guess is they're talking about regional monopolies ? There's generally a misunderstanding from left wing voters — when people say "markets" they understand "crony capitalism and monopolies with regulatory capture"…
OMZ is definitely super slow, but there are a few competitors trying to speed start times up, with nice results (50% to 80% reduction). For style just use starship.rs
31k citations, h-index of 81 [0] Cambridge professor & seems to have very serious experience in building models of climate variation across time. He recently published a pretty alarming finding about extreme weather…
Honestly with the amount of degrowth friendly opinion pieces nature published in the last 2 years, I'm surprised they take the complete opposite approach. They're really trying to open the debate to very broad and…
These two comments are a perfect summary of why I stopped debating politics online with anyone. A good 50% of the online crowd, on both sides (left/right) are *absolutely delusional* when it comes to political…
The comment I'm replying to is very black-and-white: "X should not exist". My answer is simple: there might be a reason that X exists, although it could take different forms and have different rules and methodology. You…
Every consumer, and every human being in society faces the "exploration-exploitation" dilemma [0] weekly or daily. They've discovered a set of things they like and dislike, either through family, friends, circumstances,…
That was my thought as well, I believe it's close to the "let the data warehouse sort it out" solution: make the current state separate from the "history" - in their example this supposes a data warehouse, but it could…
The main consumer of Huawei is not the privacy-obsessed western HN reader, but a third world customer that has a fairly lower expectation of privacy compared to the average American. Think of cheaper phones in China,…
Yes it's all about tradeoffs, but I think it's useful to accept (e.g.) in the laptop case that having thin and portable devices isn't necessarily a bad thing and it's likely that a good chunk of consumers will want that…
> "for public policy it's easier to frame it as traditional food vs industrial junk" This isn't research, this is simplistic populist fear-mongering. It's a bit like saying "the economic research does not want to go…
I don't understand your point: Construction companies build what they were told to build by developers, and developers decide to build stuff by guessing the balance between financial viability and usefulness to users.…
Given that I've worked in consulting for years I've seen a good amount of soulless corporate types, but they're usually not that far from the average human being in most respects. Your understanding of the world isn't…
> if every single person took every single action to reduce their carbon footprint they possibly could, the global economy would simply collapse This is very hard to believe, and makes the reader believe you think…
I'm sorry but how do you deal with the fact governments are complex entities which require important software and IT infrastructure to function ? From my experience building everything in-house is always going to be 10…
Hell no, tech is a really hard job, and the legacy in-house software I've seen the french public companies use were definitely a machine to convert heaps of tax money into mediocre software that became obsolete a few…
