Phew, agreed. I mean of course the company "can" read the message. If it does, I would love to see that shown by the app upfront, so I can avoid using it.

Whoa wait what..is it really E2E if they can analyse the content before putting it through their network?
Thanks for clarifying!
> Any and all consequences

Is the implication of violence/aggression in said speech is a justified consequence?

> Said commenter has _completely_ missed the point

I'm I understanding this correctly, this is because it is against the principle of free speech, and people might conflate it with 1A? Isn't it preconditioned on everyone being on the same page about free speech? We've seen people having extreme opinions being shunned by the the rest of the cohort. How does this group then maintain cohesion, rather is it even possible to do so?

Assuming your developers have malicious intent is a bit strange for me personally. But I get that some companies may have this structure in place.

I'm struggling to find a reason within my org as well.

Re:Zoom needs to clean up its privacy act on Friday March 27, 2020 @04:05PM (#22706304)
I just Ctrl+F'd Google Meet and no one seems to be really talking about it. We've been using it for our meetings for a long time and it works really well. I'm wondering why it doesn't have widespread adoption. You can call-in via phone, can log the minutes of the meeting and seems to "just work" too

I just want to take a moment to thanks folks over at memfault for bringing us in depth content from the world of embdedded systems. Be sure to check out their articles on ARM, RTOS etx.
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @07:33PM (#21519884)
We once had a team member re-write their R code in Java, using weka just to avoid too much hassle for the back-end team. So I guess you're not alone!
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @04:12PM (#21518227)
Looks very interesting. Will definitely explore in this direction.

> Please NEVER hardcode regression model coefficients within Java.

Amen to that.

Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @03:17PM (#21517683)
One way is to obviously go all out Java - definitely makes things streamlined. But not all team members are familiar with Java. Especially not ones formally trained on data science - who tend to work with R/python etc. Atleast that has been my experience.
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @02:58PM (#21517516)
Did you have the two systems talking to each other through HTTP endpoints? I mean the ML system receiving data from a source API and sending back a result? Is this where AWS lambdas jumps in? Are there any formal tools that facilitate making these endpoints?
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @02:50PM (#21517442)
And how do you get data on the fly [prediction phase]. Do you have an API call you make to get data that your ML algorithm can munch on?
Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @02:49PM (#21517414)
I imagine I will be breaking down into different services as well. An ML "blackbox" that makes a call to the back-end for data and returns a result/prediction. This could happen through an API. What kind of API to choose is still open.

I'm not very sure what you mean when you say the ML results were pre-computed?

Re:Ask HN: What is your ML stack like? on Tuesday November 12, 2019 @02:08PM (#21517052)
I'm going to have a hard time convincing my team to adopt a completely new language :)

Ask HN: What is your ML stack like?

How did your team build out AI/ML pipelines and integrated it with your existing codebase? For example, how did your backend team(using Java?) work in sync with data teams (using R or python?) to have minimal rewriting/glue code as possible to deploy models in production. What were your architectural decisions that worked, or didn't?I'm currently working to make an ML model written in R work on...

It is project Soli that graduated from ATAP!

Looks like the lovechild of Galaxy S9 and iPhone 11. It's good to see project Soli graduating out of Google ATAP!
Re:America’s Pistachio Industry Came from a Single Seed on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @12:20PM (#21260205)
How do you source/buy these different kinds? I've mostly had Californian pistachios, and I think they're amazing. But I keep hearing about the Iranian/Turkish varieties which is probably where the pistachio plant is native to.

I'm interested in this too! I've been looking for one that can be used with arm-gcc for cross compiling on embedded platforms. What do people use in such situations?

What are the metrics for 100% coverage - just that they are built or whether they are maintained regularly with adequate drainage system, is there water available? There is a good way this metric can be gamed by going on a building spree without really worrying about drainage, maintenance, usage.

Wondering if this is an alternative to some other lightweight git hosting services such as gitea/gogs. Good reason to consider switching?

They have discounts for educational institutions if price is really that much of a concern, it's great value for the features they pack in that little thing...and honestly "professionals" use much much more expensive instruments in their labs.
