That is the point I am making: how hard communication is, grokking reality as whole are some of the core themes of the story (is what I felt). The movie doesn't focus on these aspe…

I don't think it is cut and dry as that. Of the top of my head I can think of "Jorge Luis Borges" who was a voracious reader and much of his career involved reading (literary advis…

I think "Arrival" as a story is better than the movie. I think the movie misses on the part on how hard communication can be, and how different is the way aliens grok the reality a…

The article do mentions why they don't use multimodal retrieval. Also I think this approach is cheaper (compute wise) than multimodal retrieval. From the article: Multimodal retrie…

What if the team they're interviewing for doesn't has any parents. I think probably it is fine to ask about their life/interests outside of work. But if the interviewee isn't comfo…

I don't get it, why would operating a datacenter needs massive amount of high skilled blue-collar labor. Datacenters are resource hungry. With so much automation in place I don't t…

In my effort to better understand Deeplearning I built this project ( https://github.com/sateeshkumarb/anomaly_detection ) to detect anomalies from a batch of loglines. I use 1D CN…

If the article was intended to be an intro to "Raft" algorithm I would've agreed with your sentiment. But this is what the article starts with: Understanding Raft can be tough. In …

As someone who doesn't know/watched "Mean Girls" this seems confusing. Also I don't think it is fair to assume that reading of a blog post makes one to understand Raft better, at b…

privacy for one.

Presume the reference to trunkless legs is to the Shelly's famous poem Ozymandias ( https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46565/ozymandias )

https://jvns.ca/ Not a tech. company blog. Explains technical concepts clearly and top notch technical posts. Fits 1,2, 3 criteria of what you ask, though not the 4th one.

I don't know of how digital IDs are used etc. in other countries and how ubiquitous there usage is. (One ID I'm aware of is social security numbers (SSN) is U.S, but that is consid…

What you are proposing is too sweeping, it is not just privacy that suffers. Making a single ID (whose attributes can't be changed) an entire identity of a person is a very risky o…

Not op,I agree that hotels doesn't do any face matching. However for getting a new mobile connection the flow is similar to what op has mentioned. It seems one can get a mobile con…

I think this point is bit orthogonal. The current outrage was largely because the app has to be pre-loaded and there wasn't an option to disable or uninstall it. In the later incar…

The only upshot of this whole saga seems to be an increased awareness (though a small bit) in general public about importance of privacy in the digital world. Most of the media out…

The mandate says the app can't be uninstalled.

You are drawing a false equivalence. Using Gmail is a choice, but having an app preloaded without an option to uninstall isn't.

Why you think so, pls elaborate. In the current form governments all over the world are increasingly having massive power over what citizens can do, don't and increasing it by degr…

You are confounding intent with the implementation.It might be a garbage app to start with, but there is no opt out for the users. Given the payoff and endless iterations resources…

Not that I completely disagree with you, yes indeed with excellent training not sure how many can be retrained to be good enough for new kind of job roles, skills. Also it isn't ce…

What other option you can propose. This article [1] says preferred suggestions by economists is: retraining, regulation, or social insurance and for most of the people surveyed "re…
