- brandall10 15y ago1) I said: "I trust the open-source web devs will be on it and synthesize it faster than your typical enterprise guy will even be aware there is a need." 2) The article: "It says here you went to the University of Pennsylvania for undergrad. Were you an engineer there?” We're not talking about quants here. If (quoting myself again): "the industry as a whole makes a tectonic shift toward algorithmically more difficult problems" we'll probably need to enlist the help of more than the top .1% of all software/cs folk. If you are a quant, I humbly apologize for implying mere mortals could even begin to grasp the fundamentals of a concept as abstract as machine learning. Norvig/Thrun/Ng might have something to say about that though.
