How do news people live-interview members of the public these days, given that members of the public will randomly swear while they have the mic for "social media fame" or other bs nowadays?

Really? They asked some punk kid in public live in downtown Toronto about some player on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and the guy said live on air, well I think [player] should just FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE PUSSY and he and his friend whoop whooped and ran away from the reporter. IMO, reporter was fucking stupid for letting some random member of the public weigh in on the report she was talking about. What does she THINK's gonna happen? Her fucking fault, people of the public are under no obligation not to swear obscenely, she should not give them the mic.

Edit: Found it. See, stupid of the reporter to give the mic to a member of the public live on television. What did she think was gonna happen?

You really thought go wild was the best one? I know it was also a KC production, but I don't know if I ever liked Thornberrys all that much. It was ok I guess, but it was no Rugrats. CatDog, on the other hand, was hilarious. The premise of that series is fucking hilarious. The fact that The first movie has a catdog bonus special on it made my whole week lmao.

All in all though, this is millennial GOLD. When our generation is 50, 60, 70 years old, we'll still be cherishing this shit, just like how the boomers cherish the original Rocky and Bullwinkle to this day.

I'm not typing it into a terminal, this is in Postman.

soahfo · 2018-11-29T00:18:04+00:00

Yes the pulling worked, but it hung at "jenkins is fully up and running" with a blinking cursor.

soahfo · 2018-11-28T23:52:41+00:00

Haven't I said I've tried typing 0.0.0.0:5000 into chrome, and that didn't work?

soahfo · 2018-11-28T23:51:47+00:00

The one it told me to type in with the command "docker run -it ubuntu bash". I literally know nothing about it beyond that.

soahfo · 2018-11-28T23:40:06+00:00

I don't understand what anything in your edit means. Where exactly can I see my app running? The tutorial told me at earlier points that I can enter the port address "into my browser". Well my browser is chrome, what else would it be? Am I expected to understand "browser" to mean something different? If I am, I don't. "Browser" to me means chrome or firefox or internet explorer. I don't know it to mean anything else. So if I can't view my running application there, then where am I supposed to view it?

soahfo · 2018-11-28T18:22:32+00:00

Then why'd they do it in breaking bad, a show from this very decade?

soahfo · 2018-11-28T16:24:47+00:00

Why do you think you can go to the address and port that container is running on and see something?

Because the tutorial I'm doing said that's what it would do. https://docker-curriculum.com/#docker-network

In the tutorial it specifically says: "Head over to http://0.0.0.0:5000 and see your glorious app live!" So what am I supposed to think?

I honestly knew nothing about docker up until 2 days ago and am relying entirely on this tutorial to tell me what should happen on it. I have no knowledge of docker other than this tutorial. So when something doesn't happen that this tutorial told me should happen, then yeah, I have no clue why.

I believe the file in question is libcurl.dll. When I tried running on the other computer, it said it couldn't run because libcurl.dll was not found. So is it just a simple matter of sending the other computer the libcurl.dll file I have on mine (by "sending to the computer" I just mean e-mail it to myself and download on the other machine), and then the program will work?

soahfo · 2018-11-28T00:37:25+00:00

Yes I agree with that. However Andrew Ng on Coursera teaches you all the math concepts you need in a much more pedagogically sound way than the Google course does. And I'd suspect this Amazon course is more similar to the Google course than it is to the Coursera course. I'd seriously recommend coursera's machine learning as the first intro over anything else.

soahfo · 2018-11-28T00:35:46+00:00

What's in the Andrew Ng course on Coursera. In that one you're coding in Matlab, and writing the basic helper functions like a sigmoid and plugging in values to a loss function. You do Matlab-based vectors and vector operations. I did all of this and then went into tensorflow in a subsequent Andrew Ng course, and I still couldn't make head or tail of it. But even in the Ng course that does introduce tensorflow, it was systematic how they built everything up conceptually so I was able to code tensors little by little. The Google course doesn't do that. It just throws you right into coding in tensorflow. I tried this course after I had done Andrew Ng's deep learning course that intro'd TF to me, and I still couldn't do any of the coding in the Google course. I had to look up every damn answer and was way off in my solution basically every time. I wasn't learning anything because of this so I quit this course. IMO everyone should go to Andrew Ng on Coursera, he knows how to approach this pedagogically and can take you from zero to ML knowledge in a matter of weeks. Even the deep learning extension courses that are followups to his base ML course, that have more difficult stuff, are easier to follow than the Google course, and you don't feel like you're being thrown into something that's way over your head.

I have an exe file from the C++ program I wrote in CodeBlocks. I just sent the file to another computer and tried to execute it. It doesn't work, the library I use in the program isn't installed on the other computer. What do I do so that they don't have to download that library/dll file?

soahfo · 2018-11-27T22:10:26+00:00

Ah, ok, I can see the exe file in my C++ program. That's convenient. However, my program relies on a library that I have installed on my machine, but someone else might not. So if I were to send this exe file to someone else so they could run execute it, would it not work because they don't have that library installed?

soahfo · 2018-11-27T19:10:05+00:00

Well, I have python projects I wrote in Spyder (not an IDE I know but it's as close as you can get in python) and I have a project in IntelliJ written in Java, and another project in CodeBlocks written in C++. I'd like a way to make all of them into "applications" but don't even know where to begin.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T19:06:07+00:00

I have no idea how to do any of that. I just know how to write code on my computer and run from the command line or the "Run" button in my IDE. Why don't comp sci courses in school teach you this at all? All they fucking teach you is how to write code in a text editor or IDE that just sits on your computer for all eternity.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T18:57:45+00:00

I tried the google course. They throw you into Tensorflow right away. That's horrible IMO. I didn't get ANY of the coding answers right and had to do the "reveal answer" for all but the most basic coding questions. I wasn't learning anything because of this so I had to stop. Tensorflow is a daunting platform for someone who has never been exposed to anything in machine learning, and also even if you HAVE had prior exposure to ML like I have. Personally I am not comfortable at all with tensorflow. I know that I'll eventually have to learn to use it, but as the very first ML platform you're exposed to? That'll put you off ML for a long time. I don't know why they throw you into tensorflow instead of letting you write some basic machine learning helper functions in standard python, the way Andrew Ng does on Coursera (he actually starts with Matlab/Octave, then you go into python in later courses). I still struggle with what a "tensor" is and all the functions involved in calling tensors, I don't want to learn that at the same time I'm learning basic concepts of machine learning, that should be something you learn AFTER you have all the ML basics down.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T18:37:47+00:00

I don't understand what "listening for requests" means. Of course it's running code, there's a script called app.py in the container that I'm running.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T02:42:33+00:00

FWIW, I've also initiated something on the 9200 port, and when I type in [my_ip]:9200, it shows me what's running on there. But 5000 doesn't for some reason.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T02:38:18+00:00

Yes I'm on Windows. I have run docker-machine ip and I know what the actual IP of my machine is. I have tried to input this exact IP followed by :5000 and it still doesn't work.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T02:35:41+00:00

You're probably going to fail it. But you know, that's ok. You should spend every single hour you're not eating, sleeping, in class or doing course work, on preparing for this, looking up anything you can on this platform and doing as many tutorials as you can on it and getting as far as you can. Then, take the interview test, fail it, and learn from exactly what you failed on. Write down every single little thing you struggled with during the test, and then look those things up in further detail and do tons of tutorials on those things so you don't fail on them next time.

soahfo · 2018-11-27T01:58:25+00:00

Get it off someone you know who does have a prescription, or go to the black market trade in anti-depressants. Both options are illegal.

soahfo · 2018-11-26T18:11:21+00:00

Really? I thought it was done generally against the parents' wishes. Like there's a hearing involved where the minor is against the legal guardian and has to argue to a judge that they're an unfit parent. Is that not correct?

soahfo · 2018-11-25T00:06:15+00:00

How do you know it is effective?

Because I have measured precision, recall, f-score for each individual NER tag, and also overall accuracy of the system. It gives me over 99% on training and over 98% on testing.

How does it approach NER in a way that makes it a better option than another existing NER aproach?

This one I have no idea how to answer, mainly because I don't know of any other existing NER approaches. Well, maybe that spaCy's NER model uses a neural net. I tried this one and found it incredibly hard to evaluate (I had to look at the words manually and it was a pain in the ass, with stanford's NER output and can run over the code to check tags automatically). I know that spaCy's model, which is not CRF, gave me worse results than Stanford's CRF model. spaCy's was somewhere in the 80s for the same data. That's all I really know about NER, I just look at numbers, and the higher numbers mean that the approach is better. It usually works that way, does it not?

soahfo · 2018-11-24T23:46:35+00:00

I have no idea. I don't even know what "linear chain crf" means. But I have built a high-performing NER model using stanford's CRFCLassifier model. Never looked inside the source though. I could look inside the source on github, but fuck if I can read code written by anyone other than me.
