On my machine (Ubuntu, Chrome), every special character is literally just a rectangle. Makes the website look a bit less interesting that way ;) I am not techie enough to be able to fix the view at my end.

Stupid clickbait title for IEEE.

Sry, ping me here: https://twitter.com/wichmaennchen

The salary made at companies like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Alphabet (formerly known as Google), together known as FAANG.

If anyone else here is working on Deep Learning on/with vector graphics, feel free to ping me. I am not affiliated with the great work linked here - but I have been working on the general topic as a side project for a few years.

But the definition of differentiable did not change, did it? RELU is not differentiable (or - in other words - is differentiable at all points except 0). Not nitpicking, just trying to improve my understanding.

As a non-mathematician, how did the word "differentiable" change its meaning? Is it not still that one can compute the derivative (so that Gradient Descent can be applied)? (honest question)

I am not the person who wrote: > I think American's fetishize "free speech"

But I agree with that statement. "Free speech" is often seen as absolute. But it is not absolute. Not even in the US. It never was. And it should not be. There is always a trade-off.

Limits are (copied from Wiki because I am lazy), for example: "libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury"

> That seems like the line of argument you could employ to deny every extradition to the US then.

Appears to be a very valid reason. The US prison system is a disgrace.

Not really. Reports say that it was just the concern for his mental health / suicide risk.

Is this irony? Or are you serious?

"She is a loose cannon and a big bully."

I do not know her personally. The overwhelming support for her in the ML community appears to show the opposite. She appears to be highly regarded and well-respected, personally and professionally.

AI ethics researcher, still an AI researcher.

I strongly disagree with this view. Companies should do what is right and ethical (beyond just what is legal). And who else than the managers and employees working for the company can determine this? It requires exactly those employees pushing for what is right to move the overall company into the right direction. It was even their job as ethics in AI researchers.

Fourth, are they Christian yet?

Their lecture series was pretty good: https://www.callingbullshit.org/videos.html

We should avoid offensive language if there is a simple alternative without any loss in clarity / semantics.

EDIT: Misread and deleted parts.

A dictionary first and foremost tells you the use/meaning today. You need to look into the etymology to understand if it has something to do with slavery.

This is not science.

But no message was suppressed. There was no silencing.

Exactly. It is just another lie that Twitter would be "stifling free speech". Free speech was not stifled: Trump could even say what he wanted even though it is a private platform.

Exactly.

You don't have to select (from your point of view) dysfunctional systems to make a point.

I feel as a world citizen but I am German; I know the system that was built after the bitter lessons of our history. A proportional representation (with an x% threshold to limit the number of governing parties) is really key to preventing two large parties from dominating everything and becoming the only rivals with the resulting polarisation of the political discourse.

(Free higher education would then be the next step.)

The US really needs to change their political system so that it's no longer "the winner takes it all" politics where only two parties can effectively rival. This is so poisonous for everything. No nuances in the discussion. Truth comes under the wheels. Stupid slogans win. No chance for larger green/ecological movements besides the overwhelming topic of economics. Ridiculous gerrymandering. It's just very sad to see.

The most ridiculous thing, I find, is that giphy on Slack prints your search term as well, so others can read it. That completely takes the fun out of the *.gif for me.

Just had it in Germany with an application to a bank (DKB). Digitally signed one was rejected. I need to print on paper, sign and then scan. Signing the PDF in an iPad app was not OK.

Some key statements:

"Dräger: In Europe, the number of intensive-care beds per capita is very unequally distributed. In Italy, it is three times lower than here. In England, five times lower. The challenge in England will be greater than in Spain. And the situation in the U.S. is very alarming. The reporting system there is also underdeveloped."

He mentions it in the article.

Thank you. This exactly fits my needs. I will switch to Mochi.
