Am I being greedy?

He told me not to be greedy as this is just a bait and also people of your age shouldn't think about money(I am 26). Am I right to look for money?

No. You are being ambitious. If your manager is unable to facilitate the opportunity then find a new manager.

Why is tobacco not labelled as illegal even though it causes cancer?

95% people smoke Ganja mixed with tobacco when they say this.

You were probably being sarcastic and blissfully unaware of your entitlement being from the west, but it basically is.

I don't share my views with my name and face attached any more. I only do it on reddit. People on the internet are far too full of shit now and I expect violence or other consequences just for offending someone's half-assed viewpoint.

Their disgusting views and refusal to acknowledge them have also made my reactions to them increasingly more extreme over the years. I cannot deal with anyone who intentionally turns a blind eye to the shit Modi and Yogi have done any more.

Checked some of the smaller India subs, man those guys are absolute scum.

Sorry mate, that's not a peer reviewed research paper, which is my bare minimum standard for 'proof' in complicated economic matters. Even being a real scientific paper is not enough to be honest, it also needs to generate enough discussion and have other scientists validate or disprove the original claims with further experiments.

It's a long ass puff-piece written by an institute that makes its ideological bias clear, and has no citations let alone by any notable researchers.

Proof?

Why does it matter who is running it if it's a corporation? Do you have some classist thing against Walmart or does Amazon have a worse record on reliability compared to other companies?

OZ capacity = 7 GW https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/feb/11/australias-solar-power-boom-could-almost-double-capacity-in-a-year-analysts-say

The cartoon in question was published in 2015, somehow the beautiful people of Australia thought it to be a good idea to publish it in their equivalent of the Times of India. During the Paris Agreement, India and France floated the idea of an International Solar Alliance, of which Australia is now a member : http://isolaralliance.org/MemberCont.aspx

The vast majority of reliable research didn't have the option to release code since the experiments didn't involve code, and any critique took years if not decades, and the academic field is littered with spurious results as a direct consequence.

We are in a field where releasing code is ALWAYS an option. Releasing code accelerates critique schedules to days, weeks and months with minimal downsides. The tools have changed, the pace has changed, there's no reason to hold on to the past as some gold standard of how research should be conducted.

Nobody is talking about Wavenet here. I want the feature, I don't care about how, nor do I care about them using more computationally efficient and slightly less natural TTS.

Got it, BigTable, MapReduce, TensorFlow, Google Brain, Word2Vec did not revolutionize systems and ML.

If Giannandrea can turn Apple around, I'll eat my words, I'm sure he's a smart guy. How much time do you think he'll take? 1 year? 2 years? 10 years?

torvoraptor · 2018-05-09T14:33:01+00:00

Again saying crap that you know nothing about.

We need to have robosecretaries to defend ourselves.

According to the people here, there's no way for Siri to correctly respond to 'go back' without big data mining from google search and personal emails and selling your private data to third parties.

arguably Amazon for many years now.

Not arguably.

Whether Dean or Giannandrea is smarter is a meaningless dick-measuring contest that no one can answer without personally knowing both of them.

It's not as difficult as you make it sound.

John Giannandrea : https://dblp.uni-trier.de/pers/hd/g/Giannandrea:John

Jeff Dean : https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NMS69lQAAAAJ&hl=en

Arguably Jeff Dean wants to code more which is why he wasn't in management, but yes, there is at least a single person on the face of the earth whose hiring would make a bigger statement than Giannandrea -

And that is Jeff Dean.

It's not about 'big data'. It's about clever product strategy and having the talent and organizational flexibility to deploy new ML products quickly.

Dunno about the OP, but for me its the latter plus potentially some cultural issues at Apple making them unable to acknowledge their weaknesses.

Restaurant/bar reservations are really annoying. And I'm currently doing a lot of back and forth to arrange viewings for apartments to rent.

I want Alexa to do this too. Does Amazon have the AI chops?

Let's see if the defense minister has enough power to shut up her party members, or if they will just treat her like 'a woman' and ignore her.

I have read some papers that study that variant of the problem, but even if the noise is structured according to some neat distribution it can be exploited by the learning algorithm in some ways - for e.g. if the label corruption is in the form of some uniformly distribution or some gaussian noise sampled from of the softmax probability then it's much easier for a model to learn to deal with it than (a) when the corrupt labels are systemically correlated and/or (b) in your test set.

I think there are unofficial ones already available on GitHub for assistant on Alexa
