I think the main question I have about these smaller, "lottery ticket" networks is that they are being trained over and over on the same problem as the bigger network, and are being evaluated on the same dataset as the big network

I wonder if a pullback by WeWork would potentially close the "window" for IPOs meaning other tech companies that want to go public but haven't so far will have to wait longer.

Its pretty smart to use neural networks to exploit the non uniformity of the data, but I thought they were going to have replaced just the hash function part of a bloom filter, instead of the entire algorithm. I wonder if it could preserve

Just how some criticize Bezos and Zucherburg for building massive fortunes with either terrible workplace practices or the invasion of privacy of millions of people. not all wealth was gained this way, some was gained through honest hard wo

This is probably extremely cynical, but does floydhub have a vested interest in promoting genetic algorithms because they can take long times to train, especially with neural networks hyper parameters as the search space. These kind of beef

While I see the point of being financially independent and generating positive-sum wealth, some parts of this argument are bullshit. Most people I have talked to attacking those with lots of money do so because the money gained was made by

This isn't completely on topic but ... I wonder what happens to a company's culture once the employees see the stock absolutely tanking. The probably aren't fully vested, and so are just watching their payday shrink and shrin

I think we are seeing this drain already occuring actually. The popular news sources are all reporting that millenials are struggling to buy homes and build savings, though this may be due to low wages rather than debt servicing costs

I don't see this here, but could a student debt bubble result not in a wave of defaults but as a contributing factor in a market slowdown or recession because the average borrower will have less disposable income to spend on other good

As much as a Google replacement would be great for competition, it would be extremely difficult. Google was able to scale with the web gradually through anti spam and proprietary software, but a new competitor would struggle to reach such a

I don't see why this would be smart move for Google/Larry Page at all. If He goes, either he will fail, which would be disaster similar to Facebook for Google, or he will come out clean, which wouldn't change anything. The ma

This. The amount of social anxiety and peer pressure from constant liking causes so many people on insta and fb to conform to popular opinion or get into harsh arguments with hateful language instead of having meaningful conversations. I th

Just curious, what kind of diet is considered "Western"? I would assume you are talking about diets high in sugar and carbs, but I'm sure other Eastern cultures eat plenty of high carbohydrate diets too right?

Is that such a bad thing? The web has allowed the sharing of high quality content across the world for little to no cost, but has also created so much noise for the average user that they have little to no hope of finding the high quality c

I'm not quite sure about this, but aren't the products you have mentioned also have the same problem as Netflix. Spotify is able to provide lots of music options, but for how long? They are being effectively strangled by music lab

Hey, just skimmed the news article. Seems really interesting, but the lack of information on compute requirements is concerning. Also I wonder what the latent factors and the specific layers in each model are? I tried to dig deeper in the p

> AWS is already a large and fast growing business. But isn't AWS the same as Amazon, just instead of selling a new vacuum, its selling cloud compute? Its still e-commerce, just rebranded as "cloud provider."

> Maybe a possible partnership with Waymo for level 4 driving tractor trailers. If I am not mistaken, Waymo is already an offshoot with Google, so Google already has a strong foothold in autonomous vehicles
