I can't help but see this as another example of the pattern in which a big name in a field gets up and says that the current direction of their field (deep learning) is great and all but not really making progress on the big question (

Actually, I think SpaceX as a satellite launch company is living this advice as well as one could. You need at least one engine and one launch vehicle, so they built Merlin and Falcon. The rest of their LV development has been steady iterat

This is one of the prettiest online books about computing that I've ever seen. I really appreciate how much effort you have put in to making the layout clean and the styling enjoyable to look at. Great visual presentation can really ta

Sometimes, to solve really difficult problems, you have to make big personal sacrifices. Sometimes, to evolve, adapt and gain the edge, you have to be loose and unprofessional. Sometimes, to survive a famine or a drought, you have to ruthle
