Except Cameron wants to backdoor end-to-end encryption like iMessage/Whatsapp, rather than mess with something like SSL. With SSL they can just get a warrant (or you know, don't get a warrant) and look at the server, where everyth

It's been my experience that tech internships are paid some reasonable fraction of what a full timer would get in exchange for a more interested program of work - I get paid 50% of what a full timer does, but I get more training and mo

True, but he could still fit a good internship in his window and not violate the terms of a tourist visa.

Having just got a J1 visa myself, he'd be well served with J1. It lets you work in the US for up to 6 months in an internship. Might still be time!

I was tangentially involved with the Kew Gardens mosquito project - however they're all exciting and worth a read!

Hi Viral, do you have an intuition for why Numba would be faster than Julia here? It appears Julia spends a lot of time calculating the log on line 71.

I love how you're getting downvoted when the truth is NNs work well _only_ when you have a team of specialists to select their hyperparameters. There's a rich vein of research for AutoML to automatically learn the hyps.

If you live near enough to an exchange for ADSL over BTWholesale's elderly copper wires to be fast or in a big enough town for Virgin/BT to have laid cable/fibre, your net service is pretty good in the UK - from what I hear b

Machine Learning is more of an engineering discipline than a philosophical one. The aim (mostly, with exceptions) is to make machines that learn, not to research the nature of "understanding" or "concepts". There are peo

Poorly - Julia calls well tested and really carefully programmed BLAS libraries for the numerical heavy lifting, this doesn't. It is likely to be less accurate, less stable, and slower just for that reason. The comparison doesn't

Yes! Numpy is hugely popular in (at least) physics and machine learning and the main negative comment I get is "Wow that's horrible syntax". I'm still not sure they'll be convinced, however: trans_coef.T.dot(s

Given you're Romanian, that means you can easily study in other European countries right? I know of great places in Germany, France, the UK and Finland to study - and there are definitely more. Might be worth considering - get somewher

Specifically for writing math heavy papers (what I use LaTeX for) HTML offers: 1. (kinda.. if I want to use Google's font API and the browser renders it well) 2. Not a single file. 3. Not cross-platform - it will render differently on

What would be great is if LaTeX compilers could output to HTML or other more portable backends. I've grown to love LaTeX since my undergrad- I don't have to worry about how things will display like I do with markdown, html and Mat

As a pedal- and motor- cyclist in Oxford (city big into bikes in the UK), these electric bikes really get to me. We have lots of amenities for pedal cycles to improve their experience of the roads which are (rightly) unavailable to the fast

I think the interesting comparison will be between something like Tegra 5/Exynos 5 and this. Most scientific computing these days is CUDA, and getting something like cuBLAS onto this chip will be a struggle. The Exynos/Android com
