Now is the race for development of AI based war machines. Major powers will develop and perfect this technology and once thats done, United Nations is gonna be allowed to step in and it will do so by making development of AI based war machines illegal. What happened with nukes is being repeated. US, Russia, China, UK, Germany, France and probably India are gonna race for the development of these war machines before the development become illegal.
Yes and No. What I see as more critical is the lack of capital. The public money in poorer country is highly contested amongst immediate welfare policies(like preventing child birth death etc), corrupt system and policies where the benefits would be observed not immediately but say a couple of years.
Although this article addresses the situation in rural areas of poor countries, I have personal experience that access to technology contributes to better education even at undergrad level of the education. I personally went to a college which was trying to mitigate the lack of good professors and instructors. I had the idea of doing assignments, recitals and lectures(if necessary) from Edx. I personally believe that completing and doing good in courses from MIT on Edx certainly if nothing else contributed to my self confidence.
Jesus. This comment is giving me anxiety. I had similar poverty issues growing up in India. My mother died for the lack of money to pay for a 500$ surgery and we didn't have $$ for funeral. I get anxiety like anything else even with the slightest disrupt in routine. I get breadth shortness and pain in stomach. My current strategy to deal with this is the Bruce Banner strategy to consider it as normal.
Click bait article like these are the reasons that Trumps branding of prestigious media houses as "Fake news" found resonance among the masses. Kenyans are not being paid to program driverless cars but to label data. There is a Himalayan difference in skillsets required for programming driverless cars and labelling data. BBC should no better. But why would they care? They got me to to click the article and increase their visitor count.
Didn't have a computer till I went to university(grew up poor in a developing world). I am pretty fast without touch typing and I move my hand all around the keyboard. I also feel it when I happen to strike an incorrect key. Currently I look at keyboard occasionally when I make a mistake, but I think I have got an idea as to which keys are where. Its almost touch typing except I never start with the "home" position and yet manage to almost touch type. I believe as we type more and more we will eventually develop the touch typing pattern. The pattern might be different than the standard recommendation of "home" positioning.
First I thought thats not straightforward to make a DB update because you know, not everything is loaded into our brains working memory like which package to use, exact syntax etc etc. But then I read that you guys gave 4 hours + Google and I am shocked. BTW are you hiring :)
I recently did a certificate signing application in Golang. This was my first Golang application. The app would send CSR over to a server which would sign and respond back with certs. For over a week of debugging realised the server had bugs and was not signing the certificate properly. The bug was very subtle. The bug in third party libraries can be overwhelming for a beginner.
Exactly. Even-though my livelihood right now comes from Python, I was trained in Java in my university(along with C). I did some coding(web scrapping) in Python but that was it. I still can and willing to write in Java.
Many paradigms of life don't apply if you are a citizen of a developing country with billion people in it and you happen to be the first person in the history of your family who doesn't work as an agricultural labourer on a landlords field.
Java. C#, C++ will never be replaced. Want job security learn and code in these languages. Enterprises love them and are not going to incur cost to replace their code-bases with anything else.
Ironically I have found that Pakistanis who are extremely quick to raise protest even for perceived discrimination against Muslims, claim that its China's internal matter and one should not interfere. With that reasoning even Kashmir is India's internal affairs.
I dont understand the rationale behind such double speak.
I am originally from Bihar but currently in Bengaluru. I know about the dowry but in my case its quite the opposite due to my caste. I am low caste(chamar) with no family. Any meaningful and prospective relationship shuts down as soon as my caste comes to light. Should I try moving to Delhi?Would my caste be an issue with girls and their parents from Delhi?
I am from a tropical country. When you started describing the pain caused by morning glory, I though this must be a certain climber which has the best of abuses reserved by the farmers here. I google it and I was right.
Indian police is notoriously infamous for what is termed as "encounter." Encounter is an extra judicial murder done by the police. Sometimes its mafia that tells the police to kill their competitors, the police pick them up and shoot them and term this as an encounter. Other times innocent civilians are murdered by the police and framed as criminals. The civilian killing is done for promotions.
Jeremy, do you see any change in the attitude of employers and recruiters for ML positions or they still want people with advanced degrees like yours even for an entry level position in the field?
Same shit is happening in India. If you dont have a H1B and never worked in US, good luck finding a girl. I am 27 right now and that too a low caste. I am seriously contemplating giving up hopes of marriage and remaining single. Will be tough as I dont have a family. All my family members were killed when I was young. I have stopped bothering and now just bury myself in work and reading to avoid the darkness.
