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 late…

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 su…

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 lone…

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 …

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 fun…

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 c…

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 won…

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 f…

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 makin…

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 un…

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 algor…

I'm guilty of abhorring UI changes. Very rarely do I see them as justified. I largely prefer incremental UI changes rather than grand overhauls. The latter seems to be a minimal in…

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 peo…

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 se…

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 o…

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…

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 learni…

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…

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 'no…

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 …

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…
