Similar to another poster. Our 6 year old was just diagnosed with it. The formal test was a short survey about our childs behavior in various situations. It was highly subjective with questions similar to "My child has difficulty sit

I was in the exact same situation. I loved my team at Meta and learned a ton, but after the increased intensity QA from Zuck I went through two rounds of re-structuring and was shuffled to new teams. I found that I didn't have the mo

As a general financial instrument there seems to be too large an opportunity for fraud and scams that it seems to generally not be worth it outside of hedges against hyper inflation. But the general idea of web3, personal ownership of data

I'm not trying to say that there hasn't been a history of racism nor even that it isn't prevalent today. I just want to understand how we accurately measure the actual effects of it so that we can understand how much effort

This seems to be the largest potential issue then with my understanding of requiring research a-priori to match an assumed outcome or ideal. I wonder if an academic wanted to rigorously attempt to isolate between these, would they be allow

My understand for how we measure systemic racism issues seems to typically be predicated on assumed outcomes. For example that if the distribution of employees race does not match the general population then there must be a systemic cause

I need to check again, but from my understanding the damage is exponential based on the vehicle weight, but also that real road damage is functionally nothing until you get to very large heavy vehicles

Exactly. While ML interpretability may be tough, I don't really read it like that. More here are X number of algorithms and each one is aiming to do Y. Chronological, Engagement, Happiness, Current Trends, etc.

I think it may be hard to see technology changes in the moment, but over the last decade alone I think we've had a number of large changes that are starting to be taken for granted. We have the proliferation of electric vehicles and (a

Depending on how correlated the verifications between the human and AI system are, this could be used as a verification system to determine if consensus needs to happen. I.E. Always run the ML system and only ask for a consensus if the ML

We could tune the material to whatever wavelength we wanted, but for ours we targeted above 850nm as that was a common filter. Regarding the actual camera to IR, you are right. Even the front facing camera on a iPhone is sufficient to rea

For the fiducials we previously worked on, the goals was to maximize error correction for the types of occlusions commonly on signs. Because most signs are vertical, there is a lower likely hood of a ton of snow on them. The more common o

I worked for a number of years on making invisible fiducials that can appear only in infrared, and am one of the chief inventors on 3M's smart code. The idea was that on any retroreflective surface you can place this fiducial sticker

Agreed. It was a great post. I tend to think of my self as a "liberal-tarian." With the tenet being to set a goal for a standard of living and social / environment targets that benefits as many as possible, but anything be

I happen to be a white male from the US and during my PhD I was my Advisor's only native English speaker. Also, at most of my jobs, I've been either the only or one of two native English speakers. While I don't have the numb

I whole-heartedly agree. I not sure of another community that has this level of well reasoned discourse anywhere else. Hacker News is a special place.

I agree with you that the biological inspiration for a neural network is tenuous at best. Especially the basic two-layer network outlined here. However at least for visual perception, there is some scientific basis for convolutional neural

One of the reasons I enjoy hacker news is that the discussions on many posts are often richer than the post content. This site has managed to maintain consistent, high quality discussions unlike reddit and twitter. Without strict moderati
