MattI'm trying to learn some golang, and found this interesting post on why variable declarations are 'backwards' https://blog.golang.org/gos-declaration-syntax

@notwa Thanks! I didn't know about gradient clipping. Of course if you'd know the Lipschitz constant of the loss derivative (I think) you could pick the values so that convergence is guaranteed. Obviously impossible with deep learning though.
@notwa How do you pick the constants for Nesterov?

Another sobering talk from Maciej Ceglowski. He's shaping up to be a good candidate for "conscience of the tech industry."

Nate Cull (.social)An idea:
Let's all stop saying 'algorithms' when we just mean 'massive, opaque, centralised, automation'
An algorithm is a step-by-step process. A recipe.
Not all programs are algorithms.
Not all automation is even a 'program' in the usual sense.
Automation might use neural nets! Production rules! A random dice roller! Electrodes wired into a cerebellum of a proprietary, genetically enhanced megasquid! You don't know!
So let's just say 'automation' when we really mean 'we don't know'.
@MightyPork Yeah it happens. I find it easier to schedule everything in the morning. Harder to skip those than unordered bullet points..
