In my experience, I have started to believe ML Engineer is short for "YAML Engineer".

I built a similar app using a Kaldi's nnet3 model running embedded; the thing was so responsive that our demo to an SVP went sideways: when he gave a query, the app responded nearly immediately after the sentence ended. The SVP did not

Both of the titles you mention were the type of books that I had to put them down and started reading them again later. For different reasons though. Once the world building clicked, they really shine.

The building I live in in Berlin, 1910-ish construction with two more wings in the courtyard, everything accessible through the front gate - it has the same principle implemented with a timer and a button. I thought it's a bit odd, but

My beef with Slack is that everyone in this comments section is pretending it's an async communication tool, but that is only true people that are used to working without context switching and acknowledge that interrupting someone has

Krško is a Westinghouse design. I've spent quite some time in the area, and nobody really worried about the power plant. The smell of the cellulose plant in the city center on the other hand, ...

Their hypercube covering formalism can be seen as decision tree induction with a specific partitioning rule, and terminating branching only at uniformly labeled leaves. But try are using the tree nodes as kind of an embedding to apply a sof

After interacting with a post about yachting, the ad engine behind Instagram suddenty thought I am a multi-millionaire and I got a ton of ads on fancy watches, McLarens, Bentleys, and of course boats. Felt good for a while.

Not sure how many do this, but you're basically describing my situation, 8 min commute to Mitte, and relatively cheap. Due to the rent control, rents only jump after tenants change. An identical flat to mine, below me, was just now onl

One common pattern I had to frequently use was HSET of the same key on multiple hashmaps and different values. Not quite HMSET, but MHSET was a good name for it.

I remember reading about this in the late 90s, open hardware was a fairly new concept then. But you needed to be an electrical engineer to make one yourself, more or less; I wanted to build a pair with a friend so we could play gamed (this

Actually once you have information on depth (which isbwhat they get from multiple camera perspectives), and your bas image at near-infinite DoF you can pretty much dial your depth of field however you want. Actually your next limit is how a

There was a pretty good interview with their CTO a few months ago on Imaging Resource. Much more technical than what you see on the site, also gives a glimpse on what they were thinking when they were developing this. http://www.

I'm 29, and I have already started feeling this. Just a few years ago, I could do 12-14h coding days sustainably, but now, anything above 11h sustained for weeks really shows in my output quality. Luckily, my overall productivity is st

A layout engine works on a different level of abstraction, putting layout features in CSS will be awkward. CSS is fine for typographic features and selectors, but layout is all about relationships. Actually, one really impressive engine for

Does anyone have a good explanation for why the pages uses 1-frame videos for static pictures? Does WebM offer better quality-per-KB than JPEG?

This. I use 0.1px for smaller type, and 0.25 for bigger. It also makes it look thicker. Also, the same problem is also present in Safari for Windows, in case anyone actually uses it..

It's a horrible thing indeed, especially when trying to use a print-optimized font. Luckily the canary version uses the fancy Windows font rendering pipeline so it's merely a matter of time. We ended up applying a text shadow of 0

I'm surprise no-one mentioned ALICE - aluminium + ice (water). A paste-like substance that's quite a powerful rocket propellant. http://news.discovery.com/tech/nanoaluminum-rocket-fuel.html

It would be good to note that this implementation doesn't actually support de-compression (as is also noted in the to-do list). It is able to read headers and other metadata, as well as unpack files, but only if they're stored wit

I solved this by using the "Insomniac" approach - if you play a silent sound every 30 seconds or so, the scheduler will reset the sleep timer and the app will keep working. It drains the battery in around 1 day though.

I developed a similar app for a psychology research team. They needed a way to trigger certain things (sound recording, etc) when two certain people were in physical proximity. As it turns out, bluetooth bonjour discovery did the trick when

I strongly recommend Gisgraphy - http://www.gisgraphy.com/ [not affiliated, just a happy user]. They offer both SaaS, as well as a simple way to deploy the whole thing and run a local (reverse-) geocoding server. It does take a few days t

I've used both Colt and apache commons math in a machine learning setting. It was mostly the better handling of sparse matrix ops that made apache a couple of times faster than colt (due to hash-based vs. sorted list vectors) It was pretty

LLVM is pretty cool. I've started using it in development simply because the compile times are much faster than GCC and the clang error messages actually make sense. I also wish that this testing methodology would be adopted by other projec
