The first iPad mini was released in October 2012 without retina. iPad gen 3 was released March 2012 with retina. I don't understand why they couldn't have included retina in the mini... maybe they purposefully withheld it so peopl

I'm wondering how they got such a large depth of field at night.

I have a feeling you have a different definition of "simple maths" than most people.

I wonder if you could get interesting results by applying neural style transfer to spectrograms.

Interesting, I thought "tells it like it is" was his whole appeal. As soon as he's in hot water, though, he was being sarcastic! It was just locker room talk!

If you were wondering where "deplorable" came from, look no further than that chat.

Author here. I was surprised that there aren't any decent JS-only graphers for 3D functions and implicit equations, so I made this.

Interesting - to me, it seems like asian parents have recognized that genetics have less of a role than you might think. When I look at math contest results (in the US), asian kids are completely dominating. Either asian kids are just inher

I'm definitely not in the humanities camp, but I don't see how someone who produced work that presumably thousands of people found value in would be less beneficial to society than yet another person to die at war.

1000 layer networks aren't used in practice. 50 layers is enough for state-of-the art performance.

In their PATENTS file: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS#L14-L2... If you read it, it doesn't seem like GP's claim is completely true.

Andrew Ng's machine learning course on coursera is great for beginners. It'll show you some theory backed by intuition, and if you do the assignments you'll implement ML algorithms yourself (in Matlab). After that, I recommen

That's right, you basically want to add the contributions of each gradient of the output volume to get the full picture of how a weight affected the entire output. In practice, this can implemented as a convolution of the gradients for

It's definitely possible to get insight into how a CNN would classify something like a stop sign. This paper does a good job of showing how CNNs learn a hierarchy of increasingly complex features to classify images: http://a

$8K LIDAR? From what I can find, it sounds like Google is using a $70K LIDAR.

That's the default on pretty much every site (google, reddit, etc). Instead, you can cmd/ctrl click the link.

Couldn't agree more; having supportive parents makes all the difference. I'm a junior in a similar situation course-wise (AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, and AP Comp Sci last year), but my parents have found the balance between bein
