His story is tragic. Tragic in that he was seemingly so smart even he couldn't handle it. Tragic in that people lost their lives. Tragic in the fact that we lost a mind like his and the advancements he could've brought to mathemat

This is pretty awesome. I had never read this before. Simplicity is so easy to strive for, yet so hard to achieve sometimes.

It may not be a solution, but it's a smart thing to do and at least a step in the right direction, no?

Has anyone used TensorFlow for any hobby projects? I would be interested to know what kind and how it worked out. This is a pretty neat tutorial, I'll have to set aside more time to look it over.

This is why you should always read the terms and conditions of an app. I'm always shocked at how many people do not take this seriously. In this age of "data sharing" it is super important to take extra caution.

Not from what I have read or heard. There still seems to be a need across the board for those with deep knowledge, especially when it comes to certain topics. The people I have known who have had trouble, and studies I have read about the t

Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin only helped me to start appreciating this. It is incomprehensible that lots of the same folks are still in leadership positions. Follow the money, indeed.

I was about to say, accepting all outside contributions would promote bloat and kill portability. I don't think they are doing this in an elitist way, just as a matter of practicality.

The oversupply problem is one that doesn't seem to be going away ay time soon, especially in the pure sciences. From my anecdotal evidence, it seems to be harder and harder to get into academia or cross into industry each year. I have

I feel like there is a strong emotional component at play in these approval rates. There are many people who have been touched and directly impacted by disease, terminal or otherwise. It changes your life in a really stark and eye-opening w

No, I totally agree with that sentiment. Things have changed for our younger generation and sadly in most cases, not for the best. It blows my mind sometimes to think of my grandfather working a factory job with my grandmother not working w

I agree that it may not make much of a difference. This seems to be more of a surface change — i.e. the business model won't change, but the faces behind the trouble are gone and now there is a new leader so everything slowly fades int

So, potentially stupid question but here goes...with a new CEO coming in, what impact will this have on the company in the short-term? Did they foresee this probe coming or is this something that they will have to scramble to react to? I me

Long ago I read an article about Dr.Rick Doblin in Rolling Stone. Thought his ideas on psychedelics and mental health treatment were amazing. Wrote about him and his research for my Honors high schoo English thesis. Got some looks from my t

Nothing, shockingly. My supervisor just shook his head and went "man, I just...you can't..oh man." I felt like an idiot and had another serious talk with supervisor. Apparently, only a few members of our marketing team had se

I'll start. I had been chatting with a coworker online while at work — using a bit of coarse language. Shortly before leaving, I copied and pasted some marketing copy into the CMS for the page I was working on. I didn't check my w
