Ever since I heard of an elderly man being trampled to death on Black Friday the whole holiday makes me sick. I just don't purchase anything (except utilities I guess) on black friday. I wish traditions like this would die.
It looks interesting at least, It's hard to tell how gimmicky it will be though. I've felt like a lot of VR experiences I have had felt gimmicky. Some of my best VR experiences have been more in line with games like beat saber rather than story driven games. I'm also the type of person that pretty much exclusively plays story driven games so I want to like those experiences in VR but they just feel kind of off to me and not relaxing.
No, inequality would skyrocket. The most able people are those who are usually most privileged because they've been groomed their entire lives to go off and be useful.
Knew it was going to be mturk. I did mturk in college writing product reviews for international companies. It was like 5 dollars for 300 words usually.
Mturk seems like a great way to create datasets as well, there are a lot of stories of people creating datasets with mturk jobs however you will need some type of algorithm for filtering out people who are just clicking to get through things and not really labeling anything.
It's my understanding that with the creation of resuscitation methods and life-support systems that clinical death was already redefined to include cessation of brain activity. If they were not put on life support for example they would meet the definition of death through cessation of respiratory system and heartbeat. Pretty sure this guy doesn't have a leg to stand on.
If you're not averse to working for startups there are a lot of opportunities out there. I actually got rejected by gitlab and then got an offer from a startup for more money than I would have gotten at gitlab. There's quite a few remote first places out there too like Duck Duck Go, Mattermost, Zapier, Auth0, Automattic, Stripe just added a remote division but not remote first, Invision, just off the top of my head. I get changing jobs is full of uncertainty but don't sell yourself short either, the market has changed quite a bit probably since you were last actively looking.
There are A LOT of remote jobs. As someone who just went through a job hunt for remote positions, there was pretty much a constant supply of opportunities. However, most of them are startups. There is definitely a lack of established remote first companies with 200+ employees.
I think it was implied that I meant heuristics that humans have added themselves. The point of it all is to allow models to make generalizations about things it hasn't seen before. This can be done with a combination of supervised and unsupervised techniques.
Except nobody would train just on parallel lines. They use a wide array of different types of data so the model can make generalizations about things it hasn't seen before.
> Machine learning only learns how to categorize things into predetermined categories.
This is just one type of machine learning called classification, there are others like regression and clustering which can be combined to create more robust models. Look at the technology behind Cylance's product which identifies files as malicious or not pre-execution. They are not just using classification.
> Security is always reactionary, you can't defend against an attack you've never seen before
Yes you can, that's part of the appeal of applying machine learning to security. They don't rely on things like signatures or existing heuristics to identify things as malicious.
