Can you detail some of the rock solid solutions in 2008 for the problems addressed? For example, building multiple C++ packages from source. Google's Bazel wasn't open sourced until 2015, so solutions were still appearing long aft

Why does no one get mad at the governments who have the large tax loop holes? Shouldn't it be "Ireland close your loopholes!"

I feel that many of these legal arguments have not caught up with modern technology. If we had had the capabilities we have today 100 years ago, I am sure the lawyers would have pushed for maximum recording of all things. But face to face d

How is this any different than in-person conversations that are not recorded? Should companies be required to record all conversations that happen face to face?

I am thinking about the end application. All the more reason to ignore all of the benefits of a web solution and spin the highest performance version. Because performance is critical when viewing tons of cameras and lidar with near-realtime

I have a serious question. Should this be a web visualization? Doesn't all the abstraction lead to performance hits? Tons of data needs to be pulled off the hard drive, network, RAM and shoved into the graphics card. Is putting a web b

Social science isn't broken. Math and physics are like what's p-hacking.

That's not how that works and there are whole websites for figuring out if the plumber is useful. Angie's List, Yelp, etc... Plus plumbers normally have to be licensed by the state. Instead this process is left to the individual c

"Vogt couldn’t change lanes because of California state law around autonomous vehicles" This statement is complete bullshit. The California DMV doesn't have any clear details defining operations of vehicles at this point in t

I was encouraging you to write down your mathematical evidence of better performing algorithms, because I know from my experience that when I try to write down proofs, my assumptions and reasoning become clearer. And often a step in the pro

Ok, you are making a point about sampling. In periods of high traffic you have more samples that will bias the calculation. But, since the number of samples will be consistent between A and B, everything is fine. Fine. I believe further dis

First, I was using Student t-test as a stand-in for whatever test or statistical measure you would like to use. I believe the popular one is Hoeffding's inequality in the bandit literature, hence the log term in the MAB algorithms. I agree

by cmansley 14y ago
Also, I agree that MAB algorithms do not consider the case of adding bandit "arms" during the trial. A dynamic number of bandit arms problem may not be well studied, but is very interesting. This might be another reason for requiring a rewe

I don't know how we got onto arrival rates of our visitors. I would just like to state that Simpson's paradox is exactly why we shouldn't compare percent conversions. They are meaningless. However, many of the statistical tests like Student

Wait. I am slightly confused and this may demonstrate my ignorance, but I was under the impression that A/B testing worked by allocating two different approach to the users and then scoring the response. This provides a sampling from the po

I think the real distinction here is stationary verses non-stationary distributions. Many of the arguments made in this article hinge on the fact that the responses to the same input change over time (nights are different then daytime, whic

May I ask how this is Bayesian in anyway? I understand that using the term Bayesian is good for directing clicks to a site, but this seems like good old fashion frequentist math. None of the hallmarks of a Bayesian approach to the problem a

Just a note. The distribution being created here is the Binomial distribution. It just so happens that because of the central limit theorem, you can approximate it with the Gaussian distribution. For a low number of samples (n<20), this

This was exactly my experience. Everything from the two technical interviews with the addition of a third to the technical questions with queries about bugs in the code. I think 2->3 conversion is exactly what you said. The first two in
