Check the article again.

He “also applied to 3 PM roles”

Meaning primary job applications not for PM



No, but the article could use a two sentence explanation of what is "Super 30"


Once you deleted the localhost server they have running, they actually fallback to using the protocol.


Yes, verified. Terminated and deleted ~/.zoomus, links to join Zoom calls still open, but I am prompted to open Zoom first.


i didn't see that. for me it just failed and to join a meeting now i need to open the zoom client and copy the meeting id manually. not a big deal for me, just wondering...


Can you reliably delete the server?


Yes, you just need to

  rm -rf ~/.zoomus
  touch ~/.zoomus
The opener is the only thing in that directory.


I came across this a few days ago: For Reinforcement Learning specifically, the standard text is Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction[1]. Dave's UCL Course on RL[2] is great too (playlist of all lectures)[3].

Beyond those, my favorite resources are:

- "An Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning" by Vincent François-Lavet et al (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.12560.pdf)

- "A (Long) Peek into Reinforcement Learning" by Lilian Weng (https://lilianweng.github.io/lil-log/2018/02/19/a-long-peek-...)

- "Deep Reinforcement Learning: Pong from Pixels" from Andrej Karpathy (https://karpathy.github.io/2016/05/31/rl/)

Those are the basics. Some more resources listed on this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18219620


Thanks for this list. I’d like to get up to speed on RL and see how we can apply it for path planning and control of our gliding parachute UAVs.


Ooh! I want one of those for high altitude balloon payload recovery. Got any small ones or hobby grade projects doing this that you’re aware of?


No hobby ones I know of, although I haven't looked into the hobby space too much. All I can say about smaller systems is give our BD guys a call... =D


thanks!!


I'd be interested in getting more recommendations, maybe you can have it somewhere else and link it here? A blog/gist/Google Doc?

Thanks.


Sure, I can compile a list of books. I'll do that later this week. You can email me at my username + gmail. I'll also post it on HN.


Seconding this. You seem to have great taste in technical reading material :)


See: https://www.startupschool.org/about

In addition to having full access to all the lectures and class office hours, you will also:

- Be assigned an advisor and join their group of companies. Advisors are members of the YC alumni network.

- Have virtual advisory sessions, in the form of Group Office Hours, every week via online video.

- Have access to a community of international founders through the Startup School forum.

- Be responsible for updating your Advisor on your progress once a week.

- You must submit at least 9 out of your 10 weekly updates and attend 9 out of 10 group office hour sessions.

- Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate of completion and the opportunity to share what you're working on with the public.

- 100 startups that complete the course will be chosen to receive $10K in equity-free funding.


so how many companies are actually accepted into the course?


Not sure the number was specified, but seems like >100

Since 100 will be chosen to receive the 10,000$


But only 25 were accepted to the "Advisor" track, and there seems to be only one set of reject/accept emails being sent out. It seems to me there are only 25 accepted for advising, but maybe even auditing companies are eligible for the $10k?


My reading of the acceptance email is that it's 25 companies per advisor and that there's probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 advisors, if last year's numbers are any indication. So anyone accepted at this point still only has around 4% chance of getting the $10k. But the advice and lectures should still be valuable for everyone who doesn't get the money.


In the US and other countries it's common for a wife to take her husband's last name.

Changes from "Jane Doe" to "Jane Smith"


I think he's saying the maiden name is easily found. At least in Brazil, the husband's surname is _appended_ at the end, doesn't replace the maiden one: Jane Doe Smith.


Yeah, but often (usually?) the woman's maiden name replaces her middle name. E.g. Jane Elizabeth Doe -> Jane Doe Smith. I'm pretty sure my mom's maiden name is printed on her driver's license, paper checks, etc.


I know very few women that have done that TBH.


Maybe you just didn't realize it, because it isn't very common to see someone's full name? It was very much the norm until the 80s-90s, and even today I think the majority of women still go that route. I just spent a couple minutes searching Facebook to sanity check myself, and so far all of the women I'm friends with who are under 30 and married have done it.


I wouldn't use Facebook as a guide. My sisters all have done <First> <Maiden> <Last> for facebook, but none of them have legally changed their middle name. They just do it on facebook so that people can find them.


Most if not ~all of those women are doing it so people can find them on Facebook, and people in the States rarely use the middle name field anyways except for legal docs.


In my experience, the women do that so people that knew their name pre-marriage can find them, not because that is their full name.


That is not super common in the US.


In South-America and other countries it's common for a wife to keep the name she was assigned at birth for ever.


Have you tried Feedly?


Second that. I tried so many readers after GR was gone and Feedly for the bill.

The key features I need is "read when scrolled" and a clean interface


Yeah, it didn't take for reasons I can't really recall offhand. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
