Boo, this is unnecessarily negative. Here's some cool things that are happening in entrepreneurial space. First, SpaceX is using its reusable launch capacity combined with the StarLink constellation to dramatically lower launch costs o

Yeah, there's alot of niche programs that can provide nice amounts of seed space capital without being a billionaire, it's just they are fairly in the weeds and a bit hidden.

It looks like this is a boiled down subset of linear algebra sufficient for deep learning? Is that a correct assessment?

Actually technically Bells Theorem says you can’t have hidden variables if you want to retain _locality_. If you allow nonlocality Bells Theorem still allows hidden variables.

I'm actually a YIMBY but I don't consider the Queens backlash against the Amazon's HQ2 NIMBYism. Instead its a valid argument against why Amazon should get billions in subsidies to essentially gentrify Queens -- what will the

The breaks were anywhere from one month to a year. I never had the next job lined up before hand. All my work with non-profits involved doing open source in collaboration with them as a consultant. It was great :)

I've been in the industry nearly 20 years and I always take breaks between jobs. I've worked for startups, Google, Dropbox, non-profits, etc. Between jobs I've pursued personal growth, traveled extensively, re-tooled my CS sk

Yeah, its still unclear to me how to create a security boundary for using GPUs at inference time in containers, or even in VMs. Any thoughts?

We aren't using Docker today; we have jailing infrastructure using linux cgroups, namespaces, seclist, etc.

Good to have a gVisor developer on here. At Dropbox one way we use secure containers is to run machine learning models. Do you know if TensorFlow works in a gVisor container? How is GPU support in the container? If running on a CPU, are BLA

Perhaps neural networks can help with filtering and segmenting the point clouds as well?

Interesting theory! Do you have a link or reference where that theory is expanded more?

Nice; I used these "back in the day" while at Google to implement the illusion of native SVG support in Internet Explorer 6-8; I used hidden Flash for the rendering and Microsoft Behaviors wrapping it all so that the fake SVG woul

I've had two encounters with IBM Watson that left me unimpressed. The first was using the IBM Watson Speech Transcription service (give an audio file and get text); the results were pretty bad vs. Google's, for example. The second

There's some very interesting work on using the Sun itself as a gravitational lense for sending signals back and forth to the craft, using surprisingly small amounts of power. More writeup here: http://www.centauri-dreams.or

I really wish we still had ARPA rather than DARPA. I'm blown away by the ambition of the projects DARPA does but it's hard for me to rationalize directly working on things that might end up in killing systems. Is there anything ak
