"London obviously continues to be heavily subsidised by the rest of the UK" This is a farcical comment. Were you being sarcastic? The tax revenue from London massively subsidises t…

Sounds interesting, would you be able to share anything about the signal processing tricks?

Don’t take everything at face value: a fall in Sterling necessarily means that an exporters products are cheaper overseas, so should boost sales. Unless their costs were already hi…

Let me guess, Cambridge to KingsX to work at Google?

Because CAM doesn’t even attempt to be correct. I know it’s hard to believe and to generalise beyond your own experience but you are one data point. You might have gotten better wi…

There have - convolutional nets have far fewer weights to learn than an equivalent fully connected net of the same depth. And you literally described it as a brute force approach i…

Do you have anything better than an appeal to tradition to justify your viewpoint, perhaps a book or study that comprehensively justifies TCM without falling into the basic traps o…

Which ones? Google has a vast array of products from enterprise grade cloud services all the way to small consumer applications.

Are you really claiming that TCM and other such pseudosciences have been a net positive for the world? Unproven treatments that may make problems worse, while also encouraging pati…

The slowest is three times slower than the fastest! That’s not almost identical at all, and could easily be the difference between a useable interface and an unbearable one...

A small bone of contention: it’s not about Moore’s law per se, which has been ‘dead’ since about 2013, coincidentally when the deep learning revival started. It’s matrix multiplica…

Your ability to recognise faces, you surely realise, was passed down to you genetically? It’s encoded as hardware priors in the structure of your brain. So it’s not too hard to ext…

Don’t forget the stochastic control problem that needs to be solved to stop the whole grid blowing up!

Me too! Although it has been sitting in my list of potential projects for months so kudos to them for actually doing it...

Blatant manipulation of the findings of the study in order to further the aims of what looks like some kind of crypto-rag. From the abstract of the paper: “indicating that (with th…

Ah yes point taken: I was implying that the author had used this (nowadays) non-standard construction in order to add some sensationalism.

As a Brit, no one has made the million/milliard distinction for my entire life. 1000 million is a billion as far as anyone is concerned, a million million is a trillion. It’s just …

The bin removal was actually prompted by a period when the IRA would put bombs into bins in train stations etc., see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrington_bomb_attacks So not…

In the uk I often see posts for graduate programmer positions with essentially this arrangement: words to the effect of “candidates need not have experience coding but should show …

This is how tanks steer! And also (to some extent) why using them on roads ruins the roads. If you tried in a traditionally wheeled car then all of the drive shafts would snap thou…

In addition to the sls this idea is deployed to some extent in IC cars as well: electronic limited slip differentials can send continuously varying torque to each wheel, see the Po…

In the UK at least, selling at a loss in order to drive out competitors is prohibited by competition law

A trip to the moon would need more like a hundred billion dollars

Oxford? Sounds about right for the average PPE student...

I'm a recent graduate in a relevant field, but it seems like most positions require at least 3 years of experience. How did other HNers make their first move into the space?
