Similar thing happened to me. Lost access to a perfectly set-up forwarding account. The account recovery process is impossible because I nolonger have the same phone number from 10 years ago.

I think I understand your point about declaring and then later using your layers. Are you aware of the Sequential module? It allows you to chain together layers into a single variable, making this repetition disappear into a single forward&

Good stuff. In my experience inputs to MTCNN tend to be full frames, so the uniform dimension requirement is usually met.

I see from the MTCNN code that this repo (like all others I've seen) is still bouncing tensors between GPU and CPU while passing between the P/R/ONets. So many ML repos make this mistake in pre/post-processing and end up

In the spirit of balanced anecdata, I've flown to the US about 10 times in the last 2-3 years on business and pleasure. Multiple airports and it has always been efficient and friendly.

Well, in Singapore you'll need at least one SG-resident board member. Probably not you if you'll be travelling constantly. On the other hand, if you can manage this I've found forming and dissolving companies in SG to be very

Awesome. I'd do it if there was some overlap between people I wanted to work around, could tolerate living with, and who had my freedom.

Pretty interesting. This is what I've been doing for the last 12 months throughout Europe, but with a new location every 1-2 months. At first the organisational details were the frustrating part, but after almost 12 months and 8 cities

I've been moving around with a single carry-on suitcase for a year now. It seemed like a challenge at first, but turned out to be very easy, with a few restrictions. Sure, I can't take up kite-surfing unless I'm willing to re

To give him the benefit of the doubt, I would guess he meant products rather than startups.

Great resource, thanks. I've spent the last year staying mostly in EU capitals for a month or two, and this site will be a good source of inspiration for the future! I'm sure the numbers will improve over time with more data. :) O

These are awesome. I did a couple in Warsaw, one in Budapest and now one in Prague. I use it mostly as a 2nd/3rd date to find out how people handle stress/cooperate, but they're really fun too.

Apple likes to control the whole product as much as possible. The iOS/OSX ecosystem is absolutely big enough to support an exclusive language (see Objective-C), and Apple chose to create a new language that matched their goals instead

I think the future of mobile advertising will be more like today's product placement and less like banner ads or interstitials. It's such a size-constrained platform that anything insufficiently subtle will give you haters rather

In between peak times, these vehicles could do same-day goods delivery. One pulls up outside your office/residence and a Boston Dynamics Cheetah leaps out with your package between it's teeth. Or the car acts as a mothership for s

More of the same sounds fantastic. :) I'll email you around the 20th, it would be great to have a beer and talk shop.

I think the job situation in Istanbul is more complicated if you don't speak Turkish. My Singaporean gf (native English, excellent education) had a lot of trouble finding office work in Istanbul. I believe Turkish is spoken throughout

Seconding this. I lived on the asian side for a bit before moving to the euro side. On euro side I was about 3-400 metres from Taksim Sq for 6 months. (Near where the big recent protests - I got gassed going supermarket shopping a couple of

I'm in Sofia, Bulgaria right now, doing contract work for international clients. Rent is generally very cheap, 250EU/mo for a central apartment (12mo lease). I am staying here only a month however, so am paying a lot more. Eating

If by AI you mean artificial intelligence, then no - I agree it's pretty obvious Google is more into AI than Apple. But if by AI you mean ambient intelligence (what I said) then wat. Siri was widely available before Google took steps in thi

It's a promising direction, but the diff is really just a stub at this stage. I used to think Siri would be the beginnings of ambient intelligence, but it seems like Google cares more about the idea.

Same here. Programming feels like a secret superpower, and anything that could take it away is terrifying.

It's important to note that while this simulates approximately the number of synapses in a human brain, it does so 1542 times slower than realtime.

Persevere! Dynamic programming is wonderful. I prefer swank over nailgun, even with Vim.
