Transfer learning is very simple. Very complicated generative adversarial models / deep RL are still research domains and it is not clear it's good enough yet for major commercial applications. ResNet is a very simple idea. The sp

They achieve substantially worse results than state of the art on (the toy dataset) MNIST.

The method's performance on MNIST is relatively mediocre. You might think 98.96% is amazing, but it's about relative performance. It is a relatively easy exercise nowadays to get above 99% with neural nets. Even I can get that kin

Something that struck me is: almost half of the country would disagree with you (the more conservative half). A lot of the American public believes what Kalanick said to be very true when it comes to low-ish income people complaining about

Uber has almost always had the advantage when it came to raising money (perhaps today that is no longer the case), so I bet Travis has control over the board.

No they don't have a fiduciary duty to negotiate with everyone. Founders routinely arbitrarily decide certain VCs are not the right fit (basically, they don't like them).

Yeah, if he loses I see him trying to start his own firm.

No, because once the contracts with VC2 are signed etc. they can't change the terms, so VC3 can't swoop in anymore in the same round. And even if VC3 swoops in during negotiations with VC2, it requires the founders to be pursuing

/r/machinelearning is okay. Twitter has good conversation as well, if you follow all the ML people. Most researchers are in labs so they usually discuss these things in person with their colleagues. Also the community is relativel

Pro rata is just ROFR with a 1x multiple, yes, so it seems it was the particular multiple (anything greater than strictly proportional) that was onerous.

To add on to this, the existence of other Google investing arms makes me more believing of the claim that Google Ventures is firewalled from Google corporate; it seems Google needs Google Capital (and Google corp which also directly invests

I get that a lot of people on HN are highly skeptical, but Google Ventures claims to be completely firewalled from Google corporate (this issue is only made more confusing by the fact that Google Capital is not firewalled, and by the fact

Well that's the problem, isn't it? A founder looking for your money is not going to go out and say that they want investors who give them a blank check. But the fact is if they're deciding between you and another investor tha

If you can't think/find an example of this happening, that would confirm the assertion that YC does this quietly and privately.

Yes, I'm mainly talking about generative adversarial models, which have proliferated greatly.

A nuance that is underappreciated by a lot of people / the media is the degree to which any of the AI generates X models (faces, drawings, fills in photos, increases sharpness, etc.) simply copy and paste and interpolate from the train

Your comment about worshipping makes no sense. Worshipping Uber would be "I need Uber," not "Uber needs me." The woman thinks she can make an impact on diversity at Uber. Good for her.
