    How machine learning is changing software & new challenges in Software 2.0 systems

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:26 AM PST

    This recent talk "How Machine Learning is Changing Software" by Stanford CS professor Chris Re is really interesting. He describes the foundational challenges the Software 2.0 systems present with a few solid product system examples and early progress to tackle the problems. I am sharing my notes here for a quick reference:

    • Software 2.0: Machine learning is radically changing how we build, deploy, and maintain software systems. [video section]
    • The new software systems and new failure modes require a new discipline - AI engineering. It should focus on the theory & practice to maintain the systems and make them robust overtime. [video section]
    • "Overton" product system example: models are commodities; engineers can focus on monitoring fine-grained quality and improving supervision (instead of lower-level codes) by adopting a "zero-code" deep learning system [video section]
    • New challenges emerge from high-level abstraction (e.g., hidden stratification problem in ML for medical imaging). Early tools and theory are available with huge potential for future development. [video section]

    Logic Gates with Pass Through

    Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:03 AM PST

    Hello all,

    I recently got interested in building logic gates (with a simulation/game) and seeing how far I could get in building an ALU from AND and NOT gates as a starting point.

    I had a relatively easy time getting the constructs built at first, until when I finally got to the ALU. I was having a horrific time decoding an opcode and trying to only do the corresponding operation on the input.

    My solution was to allow pass-through on my constructs, and started from scratch. I figured that it would probably be helpful to include a "signal" input on some higher-level constructs that would perform the operation if it was HI, but on LOW, the construct would instead pass the inputs through.

    For example, with a logical AND operation on 8 bits, there would be 17 inputs, 16 outputs, which I've shortened for readability: 

    IN1 : say 01001011 IN2 : say 01000010 SIG : either 1 or 0 OUT1 : OUT2 :

    If SIG = 1, OUT1 = 01000010, OUT2 = 01000010.

    If SIG = 0, OUT1 = 01001011, OUT2 = 01000010.

    Essentially, having this pass through option really helped. Once I had a opcode decoder construct, I could give the corresponding operation the signal to execute, and all the other operations would just pass the input through.

    So here goes my questions finally! Have you ever heard of pass through on logic gates? Is this something that could be useful, or is it a design overheard in the real world? Do designers include pass through in their designs?

    Thanks!

    As a software engineer major does anyone else experience the same issue of not being able to find like-minded individuals to collab on projects of interest? Or am I on a lone boat here.

    Quick question about 2s complement binary numbers

    Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:14 AM PST

    So I have a quiz today (in like 5 hours) and I have a question about converting 2s complement binary numbers to decimal. I get that the first bit is the sign and the rest of the bits are the magnitude, so why is a number like 1000 -8? Shouldn't it be -0?
