The first time I got in that situation I was confused. They should really teach you the "two finger salute" (I'm stealing that btw) when you pick up your car.

The MCU on my Model X has frozen a few times without visiting a website. I've had to forcefully restart my MCU at a stop sign twice since having it.

[SPOILERS] To me there are five super interesting points in this video.

1. The arrogance/confidence that people had towards AlphaGo assuming that it was not going to be competitive.

2. The lack of understanding tt even the programmers had for the game. At one point the devs were saying "I don't even know if that's a good move or not", yet their program is playing at superhuman play.

3. The amazement that commentators and other players experienced when AlphaGo performed move 37 in game 2.

4. The disappointment experienced by everyone when they came to the realization after game 3 the computer won.

5. The confusion when the computers neural network fails in game 4 and everyone (except the engineering team who sees the probabilities) is confused about whether the machines play is brilliant or terrible.

That’s it?

A few weeks ago, I bought some shampoo and conditioner from Amazon. I wanted a bulk size and the bottle looked like it was form the official manufacturer. When I got the bottles, opened and used them, I could tell they were fake. The consistency of the product was terrible and the smell was overly harsh. I returned both of them and just ordered the products from the company website. Funnily enough, the company website didn't even have the sizes that were listed on Amazon. Over time, I've become more wary of buying household products Amazon's website.

Can't Facebook just issue a takedown request and have these files removed?

There are still taxis, busses, commercial/city vans, muni, and other vehicles on Market; just not personal vehicles. To say it’s car free is hardly accurate.

Could they make it work like git? Then all of the templates hosted by https://gitignore.io would work!

I want to give a heads up to everyone who runs, or is thinking about running an open source project. If your project sees ANY notoriety and you are the maintainer, you will quickly find yourself in this situation. In 2013, I started a little side open source project and put it on GitHub which now has 5.2k stars. I've seen tons of arguments in my PR's over the previous 7 years. My project isn't even that large and I've seen lots of in fighting to the point where I've had to lock threads. The skills required for you to run a successful open spruce project are the same skills required for you to run a business. You're going to need people skills and understand how to de-escalate situations because once the community is large enough, there will be a lot of culture conflicts. The main challenge with open source is that if you're not getting actively incentivized (Paid for me) to maintain something that's super popular, it's easy to abandon it when things get hard.

These businesses could still survive, but prices are going to have to start raising as subsides (Private Equity mainly) pull back. The next question will be, is the $6 dollar burger still worth it when it costs $14 to deliver?

It's that easy, except when it isn't. I tried to buy that upgrade last year when Tesla was offering a discount and I couldn't find the buy button anywhere. At the time I sent an email saying something like "I've never found it so hard for someone to send a company $3000 for a product." Seems like Nassim experienced the opposite of me.

I used to live less than half a mile from Google, but I always thought the smell was due to the train that runs along the busway. Some mornings the smell there was extremely pungent, but it was definitely something that I smelled the entire time I lived there.

Save and out!

Op here! I started working on this project a year ago in a attempt to bring myself some sanity. Reading the news nowadays is a real struggle for me because of all of the sensational, non-news, click-bait, and fluff that is stuffed in to try and entice readers to click on a story.

I'll get around to open sourcing the whole project and I'll write a proper blog post about the process I went through to build this, but for now I'm looking for feedback on whether people here think this tool is personally useful or not.

edit: Also, the the training set for teaching this model is extremely small (1700 examples) which I paid mTurkers to tag. If you see sentences that look like they should not be redacted, add them to the training data set[1].

Yeah, this is pretty much what a few people brought up. Consumers seem to actively want to give their data away for "features" which usually aren't worth the data they are giving up.

I have an TV and I feel like Apple is doing a decent job of trying to prevent selling user data by any means.

I was talking to a few people in a slack channel the other day about the potential market for a whole set of "dumb" appliances. At the end of the day, we came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a able to reach mass market because the mass consumers seem to care more about price than security.

If you buy a smart TV, disable these features, disable network connectivity, and then plug in another 3rd party box you should be fine right?

Thanks for commenting on your use case. I primarily do software engineering and outside of sending large machine learning data sets, I couldn't think of a personal reason to use this.

+1 to supporting markdown although I feel like comments would get kinda crazy looking if there was more than just emphasis and

  code

formatting.

This is a great idea, thanks for sharing.

That's a great idea and also a potentially viable possibility.

Another challenge along the previous 4 years was leadership turnover. In the last 4 years, I've had 4 managers. No one every really lasted more than a year. My most recent manager quit to start a stealth startup around the time I switched teams. He's a great person and a great manager, but he's on to bigger and better things. I've only been on my new team for a few months and my new team is great, but I think you final sentence is really where my sentiment is right now.

The promo process story hits home with me. I was trying to get promoted a few years back at my company. Over the previous 4 years, I built out a lot of systems, fixed critical bugs in our software stack, stayed late during crunch mode ensuring on time shipping, and volunteered to debug issues upstream issues impacting our software. Our team was customer facing so back-end bugs always surfaced in our product. I was a customer focused developer and fixer.

That being said, every time promo time rolled around, I had nothing to show for it. You needed metrics and some plan of how you were going to show your manager you were performing at the next level or it didn't count. The software that I worked on over a crunch week that made the news papers, doesn't count. My managers would put me on project that didn't lead to any favorable trajectory for promotions. Every project they ever suggested, which I took up is now deprecated or severely paired back to the point where it doesn't matter outside of my personal development.

Now, I'm 4 years in and starting from zero in terms of building my foundation for working on a project that is valuable enough to the company to reach a higher role. I'm still willing to do the hard work, spend the occasional late nights, get lost in my passion of working on customer solutions, and try to have an impact. My question now is whether it makes sense to build for my company or build for myself?

I was saying this to my friend about 18 months ago. This process seems very similar to what happened with Steve Jobs.

  1. founder starts company
  2. board replaces abrasive founder with operator
  3. founder fully exits company (except for 1 share)
  4. founder starts new company
  5. original founder company nears bankruptcy
  6. founder executes reverse take over of original company
  7. founder revitalizes original company

At the time, we were at step 2 with Dara becoming the CEO, now we're at step 4.

I was just in Sierra Leone last week and I was telling my brother about this place.

I would be interesting to see this trained using GPT-2.

We’re doing this now? For my entire tenure on HN, this site has been a status page for GitHub. Looks like it’s Gitlabs turn.

From the financial risk perspective, Tim really can't say anything.

This reminds me of "There are dozens of us... DOZENS"[1]. While I am happy that people are diversifying their social network choice, 160k is a rounding error to Facebook.
